Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken.

4. Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the whipped cream until well combined and smooth.
5. Spoon the mousse into decorative ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Helpful Tips

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice to the pumpkin mixture.
• Make the mousse the night before to allow the flavors to meld even more.
• For a lighter version, use half whipped cream and half Greek yogurt.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover mousse in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The mousse can also be frozen for up to a month. Just thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have pure maple syrup, honey or agave syrup can be used as substitutes. For a dairy-free version, replace the heavy cream with coconut cream.
