How To Make Pumpkin Mousse

The mousse is one of the most decadent and elegant desserts out there. Its lightly whipped texture just melts in your mouth and it’s completely versatile when it comes to flavor, which is why we couldn’t resist the temptation to make a pumpkin mousse to get us excited for the fall. We accented the pumpkin puree with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to give it an authentic “pumpkin pie” flavor. The result is a creamy, whipped dessert that’s delightful in every way.
