Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 0 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Banana slices for garnish
  • A sprinkle of ground cinnamon for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, mashed bananas, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a stand mixer or electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to whip until it reaches stiff peaks.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin-banana mixture. Be careful to maintain the light and airy texture as you mix.
  4. Spoon the mousse into clear tumblers or dessert glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
  5. Before serving, garnish with banana slices and a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Helpful Tips

  • Make it extra smooth: Use a food processor to blend the pumpkin puree and bananas together before mixing with other ingredients.
  • Substitutions: Swap heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative.
  • Short on time? Use pre-whipped cream or whipped topping to save on prep.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, serve chilled.

Pairings

This Pumpkin Banana Mousse pairs wonderfully with warm beverages like spiced chai tea or a cozy cup of hot cocoa. For a savory counterpart, try serving it after a hearty autumn meal featuring roasted vegetables or a spiced butternut squash soup.
