Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
• Ground cinnamon, for dusting

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Stir until the mixture is well-blended and smooth.
2. In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
3. Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the cream. Mix until just combined and the mousse has an even light orange color.
4. Spoon the mousse into individual serving bowls or a chic, modern glass bowl for a family-style presentation.
5. Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
6. Before serving, garnish each bowl with a fresh mint sprig and a light dusting of ground cinnamon.

Helpful Tips

• For a light and airy texture, ensure that your whipped cream is whipped to stiff peaks before folding in the pumpkin mixture.
• If you prefer a sweeter mousse, consider adding a tablespoon of maple syrup.
• Make sure to chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for best results.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to re-garnish with fresh mint and cinnamon before serving again.

Ingredient Substitutions

• If you’re dairy-free, coconut cream makes a perfect substitute for heavy whipping cream.
• For a more robust spice profile, experiment with adding a pinch of cardamom.

Pairings

This rich and creamy No-Sugar-Added Pumpkin Mousse pairs beautifully with a spiced chai latte or a cup of ginger tea. For a luxuriant autumn feast, consider serving it alongside our hearty Harvest Vegetable Soup and crisp Fall Apple Salad.
