Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• Dark chocolate (for shavings)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.
4. Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Spoon the mousse into clear dessert dishes, smoothing the tops.
6. Top each serving with a few extra chocolate chips and a shaving of dark chocolate for garnish.
7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Helpful Tips

• To save time, you can prepare the mousse a day ahead and refrigerate it until ready to serve.
• For an extra burst of flavor, add a dash of pumpkin spice to the mixture.
• If you don’t have mini chocolate chips, chop regular chocolate chips into smaller pieces for a similar effect.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving again.
