Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse is light and airy, with a cheesecake tang, and all the warm and cozy pumpkin pie spices on top of a crisp graham cracker crust base! Topped with extra whipped cream, it's an indulgent yet incredibly easy no-bakedessert!
Ingredients
CRUST:
1cupgraham cracker crumbs, ~7-8 full sheet crackers
In a food processor, pulse graham crackers into a fine crumb. Stir 1 cup of the crumbs together with the melted butter, 2T sugar, and salt. Scoop approximately 2 TBSP crust into 8 6-ounce ramekins and press down to create the crust. Set aside.
In a chilled mixing bowl (from a stand mixer works best), combine heavy cream and sugar. Begin to beat the cream on medium speed until it thickens, approximately 3-5 minutes. Remove once soft peaks have formed and the whipped cream can hold its shape. Transfer to a bowl for storage.
In the same mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature cream cheese and sugar until combined. Add vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and pumpkin puree. Beat on low until combined. Reserve approximately 1/2 cup whipped cream for topping and fold the remaining whipped cream gently into the pumpkin cream cheese mixture.
Either pipe or gently scoop the pumpkin mousse filing into the ramekins. Top with fresh whipped cream and serve immediately or chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
You can store the jars in the fridge for several days. However, if you are making them ahead of time, I recommend waiting to top them with whipped cream immediately before serving so that it doesn't fall flat or get a film on it while stored.
