Pumpkin Mousse

(I ate mine too quickly to take a picture of it, so this picture is taken from the web!)

As most of you know I am absolutely obsessed with anything pumpkin-y (yes.... that is my new word!) this time of year. I recently found the most delicious recipe for pumpkin mousse that is to-die-for good!! It is also very simple to make.

Pumpkin Mousse

15 oz pure pumpkin
2/3 c. packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 c. heavy cream

1) In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, & nutmeg until well blended. In a medium bowl with a mixer at medium speed, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2) With a rubber spatula, gently fold whipped cream into pumpkin mix 1/3 at a time.
3) Spoon into serving dish of your choice. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Prior to serving add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with grated chocolate.

We are having a "cookie day" at work on Tuesday (everyone is bringing cookies to share :) ). I think that I may make pumpkin mousse cups by slicing sugar cookie dough and pressing it into my Pampered Chef mini muffin pans then baking it. I will pipe in the mousse once the cups have cooled and then top with whipped cream & shaved chocolate.
