PUMPKIN MOUSSE RECIPE

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese: Using a large bowl and a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until very smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
• Add pumpkin + sugars: Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar and confectioner's sugar to the bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes.
• Add flavorings: Add the vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt to the bowl. Beat on medium-high until creamy and smooth; making sure no lumps of cream cheese remain - if so, continue beating!
• Fold in whipped cream: Add 2 cups of the whipped topping to the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture until well combined. Make sure you fold gently so you don't deflate the whipped topping! Gently fold until the topping in completely combined and no streaks of cream remain.
• Serve or Store: Either transfer the mousse to a piping bag or gently scoop the mousse into serving cups, glasses or a trifle dish. Top with remaining whipped topping and whatever toppings you love! Serve immediately and enjoy! Storage: Alternately, you can cover the mixing bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for several days.
