Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 cup whipped cream (fresh or store-bought)
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pumpkin puree. Mix them thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add sugar and spices: Stir in the granulated sugar and pumpkin spice to the cream cheese and pumpkin mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute the sweetness and spice throughout.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture to maintain a light and airy texture. Be careful not to overmix to keep the mousse fluffy.
- Chill before serving: Cover the mousse and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled for best taste.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Homemade whipped cream with a touch of vanilla extract can enhance flavor.
- You can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream when serving.
- For a lighter option, substitute sugar with a sugar substitute suitable for baking.
