Description

These No-Bake Pumpkin Cream Cheese Mousse Cups are a dreamy autumn treat combining smooth cream cheese, rich pumpkin puree, and festive pumpkin pie spices. Light, fluffy, and beautifully spiced, this easy-to-make dessert is perfect for fall gatherings or any time you crave a creamy pumpkin delight without the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Mousse Base

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup crushed gingersnap cookies
  • Optional: whipped cream for an extra topping

Instructions

  1. Beat cream cheese: Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until smooth and creamy without any lumps.
  2. Combine pumpkin mixture: Add pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Mix on low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Whip cream: In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream using a whisk or electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Fold whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture with a spatula, combining carefully to keep the whipped cream’s airy texture and ensure an even mix.
  5. Fill serving cups: Spoon or pipe the mousse into individual cups or glasses, filling them about three-quarters full for a nice presentation.
  6. Chill the mousse: Cover each cup with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and develop the perfect texture.
  7. Add garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle crushed gingersnap cookies on top of each mousse cup. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • The cream cheese should be softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth texture.
  • Be sure to whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks for optimal mousse lightness.
  • Gently folding the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture maintains the mousse’s fluffy texture.
  • Chilling for at least 2 hours is essential for the mousse to set properly.
  • Gingersnap cookie garnish adds a pleasant crunch and complements the pumpkin spice flavors.
  • Can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator, covered tightly.
