Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: coconut, coconut cream, coconut milk, pumpkin
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  • *Powdered sweeteners yield the thickest results. Liquid sweeteners work, but the mousse is not as stiff.
    If using coconut milk, make sure to buy the full fat canned type. Use just the thick, creamy portion of the cans to make up 1 cup, discarding the coconut water in the can.
    To make pumpkin mousse, whip all ingredients with hand beaters or in a stand mixer until thick and fluffy. Whipping by hand is also an option, although the results are not as light and airy. Serve in bowls or parfait glasses. Serve right away, or chill in the refrigerator and the mousse will get even thicker. I chilled the recipe in a pastry bag with a star tip. Once cold, I piped it into individual glasses and topped each with a cinnamon graham cracker.
