  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • A pinch of salt
  • ½ cup whipped topping (or whipped coconut cream for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree. Make sure it’s smooth and thick.
  2. Add Greek yogurt to the pumpkin and whisk until evenly combined.
  3. Stir in honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. Use upward motions to keep the texture airy and light.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices if needed.
  6. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, smooth the tops, and cover with plastic wrap.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  8. Before serving, top with whipped cream, granola, or crushed nuts if desired.

Notes

You can substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan option.

For added crunch, layer the mousse with granola or crushed graham crackers.

Adjust spices to your liking — more cinnamon for warmth or more ginger for a slight kick.

Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
