Light, creamy and full of pumpkin spice, this Pumpkin Spice Mousse only requires 5 ingredients and comes together in less than 15 minutes! Dress it up with crushed gingersnaps and a dollop of whipped topping for a special treat.
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
1 box butterscotch instant pudding mix*
2 cups cow's milk**
1 cup 100% pure pureed pumpkin
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
6-8 ounces whipped topping, like CoolWhip
Optional: gingersnap cookies, additional whipped topping, mint
Instructions
In a medium size bowl, add the instant pudding mix and milk
With a whisk, stir together the milk and pudding for 2 minutes
Set pudding aside for 5 minutes to stiffen
Once the pudding has set, whisk in the pumpkin puree and the pumpkin spice
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping so the mixture remains fluffy. There may be light swirls of the whipped topping that's not full incorporated which is okay.
Serve immediately or cover and place in the refrigerator until serving.
Will keep 5-7 days, refrigerated
Notes
* I use Jell-O brand, instant sugar-free sugar pudding mix but the regular should work fine as well ** For the pudding to stiffen up, it's best to use cow's milk. I've never tried almond milk but I do know soy milk is not recommended for pudding
