Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
Pumpkin Spice Mixture
- 15 oz Pumpkin Puree
- 1 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Beat the Cream Cheese
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with an electric handheld mixer until smooth and creamy. - Add Pumpkin and Spices
Add the canned pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture on medium-low speed for 2 to 3 minutes until all ingredients are evenly combined. - Fold in Cool Whip
Add one-third of the Cool Whip to the pumpkin mixture, then gently fold it in using a spatula until well combined. Repeat this process with the remaining Cool Whip in thirds, folding carefully each time to maintain a light and fluffy texture without streaks of white. - Chill the Mousse
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours or until well chilled and set. - Serve
When ready to serve, spoon or pipe the pumpkin cheesecake mousse into dessert glasses and garnish with extra whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a decorative and flavorful finish.
Notes
- Room temperature cream cheese ensures a smooth, lump-free mousse.
- Gently folding the Cool Whip preserves airiness and light texture.
- For an extra festive touch, top with chopped pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Make ahead and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Use pumpkin pie spice blend or make your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
