Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Creating Fluffy Whipped Pumpkin Mousse is simple and enjoyable. Follow these steps to make your delicious dessert:
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
Heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for about 10 seconds until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
If using gelatin, slowly mix it into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture, being careful to maintain the light and airy texture.
Transfer the mousse into individual serving cups or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set.
Once chilled, you can garnish with additional whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or crushed graham crackers for added texture.
