Need a really fast dessert? Like 5 minutes fast? One that the whole family will love? We’ve got you covered! Pumpkin Mousse can be whipped up super fast and can be eaten immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later. Just the right amount of pumpkin flavor and a perfect, fluffy consistency.

Make sure to have some gingersnaps on hand to add on top – the flavor complements the mousse perfectly and adds the right amount of crunch as well.

Ingredients in Easy Pumpkin Mousse

Butterscotch pudding mix (3.4 oz) -Make sure to use the instant variety. You can use vanilla instead, but the butterscotch flavor just goes so well with the pumpkin!

Milk – I usually use 2% because that’s what we keep in the refrigerator, but you can use any variety you want. Obviously, whole milk will yield a slightly thicker mousse than using skim milk, but either will work ok. You can also use a non-dairy alternative if desired.

Pumpkin – Make sure just to use plain pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. Can use store-bought or homemade.

Pumpkin pie spice – I buy this pre-mixed at the store, but you can make your own. It’s a combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves and there are many recipes online if you want to mix up your own!

Cool Whip – The Cool Whip needs to be thawed before adding to the recipe. Cool Whip thaws very easily on the counter in about 30-60 minutes or in the refrigerator overnight. You can also substitute the Cool Whip with stabilized cream cheese (recipe below).

Gingersnaps (optional – for garnish on top)

CAN YOU REPLACE THE COOL WHIP IN PUMPKIN FLUFF?

If you can’t find Cool Whip where you live or you prefer not to use it in recipes, you can use stabilized whipped cream instead. If you just use regular whipped cream, the consistency will be too light and the cream will not hold up very well when mixed into the jello salad. It’s very simple to make your own stabilized whipped cream and it just takes a few minutes!

To make stabilized whipped cream, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 4 ounces of cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream.
  1. Beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla until soft and smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream just until soft peaks form.
  3. Add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream and beat until stiff peaks are formed. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

A little tip for making whipped cream faster. Use a metal bowl for whipping the cream and place the bowl in the freezer for about 30 minutes before you make the whipped cream. This will significantly decrease the amount of time that you will need to beat the whipped cream – the process will go much faster!
