Quick Pumpkin Mousse

Here’s a simple way to make a creamy and luscious quick pumpkin mousse that happens to be lower in fat and calorie.  Everyone will love how decadent this mousse is and so will you. Enjoy!

 In my book anytime of year is the right time to enjoy pumpkin desserts.

It does not have to be Autumn when the pumpkins are out in all the stores and pumpkin recipes are all over the internet and in magazines. I make pumpkin recipes both sweet and savory year round.

This is a wonderful recipe that is fast and easy to put together any day of the week.

Great for dessert on busy weeknights or fancy enough for company. Anyone you serve this to will be impressed. You’ll know that it’s one of the easiest recipes you have.

 The recipe yields 2 servings but it is easy to double or even triple the ingredients (as I’m sure you will want to make more after you try it!).

Using canned pumpkin makes this recipe even faster and easier if you were to use a fresh pumpkin. The canned pumpkin is delicious and has good nutrients too.

I hope you try this easy-peasy pumpkin mousse and enjoy it as much as we do.
