Helpful Tips
For a little extra texture, consider adding a handful of finely chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, on top before serving. This mousse can also be made a day in advance, making it a great option for effortless entertaining.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The mousse may thicken slightly over time, so give it a gentle stir before serving.
Ingredient Substitutions
If coconut milk is not available, you can use any other non-dairy milk combined with 1/2 cup of coconut cream for a similar texture. Agave nectar or another liquid sweetener can be used in place of maple syrup.
Pairings
This Vegan Pumpkin Mousse pairs wonderfully with a cup of spiced chai tea or a warm apple cider. For a complete autumn-inspired feast, serve it after a hearty bowl of butternut squash soup or a plate of roasted root vegetables.
