This easy 2-ingredient pumpkin mousse is the ultimate 10-minute fall dessert. Using only pumpkin pie filling and heavy cream, it creates a light, airy, and perfectly spiced treat that is perfect for holiday gatherings.
1 (29 to 30-ounce) can pumpkin pie filling
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
Ground cinnamon for dusting (optional)
Pumpkin seeds for garnish (optional)
Sea salt flakes (optional)
1. Place the pumpkin pie filling in a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and let it drain for 5 minutes to remove excess liquid.
2. In a large chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Stir a few spoonfuls of the whipped cream into the strained pumpkin filling to lighten the texture.
4. Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the remaining whipped cream using a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain.
5. Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes and tap them gently on a towel-lined counter to smooth the tops.
6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Make sure your heavy cream is very cold for maximum volume.
Use pumpkin pie filling specifically, as it already contains the necessary sugar and spices.
If using plain pumpkin puree, you must add sweeteners and pumpkin pie spice separately.
