If you love pumpkin like I do, but want something different, then this mousse will satisfy that desire. It’s easy, light, and deliciously sweet. You could layer this pumpkin mousse in a trifle, use it as a pie filling, or just eat it all on its own. Do whatever you like with this amazing mousse, just please make some. It’s so good!

This pumpkin mousse would be a wonderful addition to a Thanksgiving dessert table. I made little portions in small glass containers. Easy to grab, and small portions mean less guilt with plenty of room for other desserts. Or grab two because you should. I love dessert so I say life is too short to not enjoy a sweet treat. Enjoy this yummy pumpkin mousse.

Happy Thanksgiving!

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

  4. Would go good with Christmas Eve dinner too, right? How about sending it to me for the December issue of Novel Thoughts?

    I’d also like to invite you to post it in our Facebook group forum (if you’re a member) on Thursday, December 7th. We’re having a 25 Days of Christmas party in the forum from the 1st to the 25th, and I’ll be doing a game on recipes that day.

  5. This looks sooooo good! We’re visiting family out of town, so I’m afraid I won’t be eating this today. But rest assured! I’m making this when we get back! I’m basically drooling over here! Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving!
