This creamy Pumpkin Mousse has all the seasonal flavor of a classic pumpkin pie while also being vegan and gluten-free. It’s incredibly fluffy, delicious, and easy to make!
It’s our opinion that the very best part of pumpkin pie is the filling (plus a dollop of whipped cream, of course!). Who else is a fan of filling? This delicious Pumpkin Mousse has all of that creamy, delicious pumpkin pie filling flavor that we love so much! It’s quickly become an autumn must-make in our kitchens and we think you’ll love it, too.
No-Bake Pumpkin Dessert Recipe
This recipe doesn’t have a crust and requires no oven time! Instead of a pie crust, we’ve combined dates, walnuts, and cinnamon. Once pulsed in the food processor they can be incorporated into the mousse in layers. This gives your dessert a really delicious texture and crunch throughout.
We made this recipe a little lighter by including a non-dairy coconut whipped topping! You could use a regular dairy whipped topping as well. These can be found in the frozen section of your supermarket.
Vegan Thanksgiving Dessert
This Pumpkin Pie Mousse would be a delicious vegan, gelatin-free, and gluten-free option after Thanksgiving dinner. Serve a light and tasty sweet treat in individual mini cups that will taste like pumpkin pie, but much quicker to make.
Making Pumpkin Mousse Ahead of Time
Our light and creamy Pumpkin mousse is a really great recipe to make ahead of time. Make the pumpkin mousse a couple of days ahead. Assemble it in layers the day you plan to serve it for dessert. Our recipe for Pumpkin Pie Mousse is a wonderful dish for entertaining because it’s so easy to make, serve, and enjoy!
