Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup maple syrup, plus extra for drizzling
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and brown sugar together until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the whipped cream until thoroughly combined and smooth.
4. Spoon the mixture into glass dessert dishes, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
6. Before serving, drizzle a small amount of maple syrup over each mousse and garnish as desired.

Helpful Tips

• For an added crunch, top the mousse with crushed gingersnaps or candied pecans before serving.
• If you don’t have pumpkin puree, you can substitute with sweet potato puree for a different flavor profile.
• To make it vegan, use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream and a sweetener like agave nectar instead of maple syrup.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. We do not recommend freezing this dessert as it may alter the texture.

Pairings

This Spiced Maple Pumpkin Mousse pairs beautifully with a hot cup of chai tea or a spiced apple cider. For a more indulgent pairing, serve alongside a slice of warm gingerbread or a dollop of whipped cream spiked with rum.
