Irresistible Easy Pumpkin Dessert Recipe for Fall Bliss

Ingredients

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whipped cream (optional, for fluffier texture)
• Whipped cream (for topping)
• Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
• Crushed graham crackers or pecans (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice. Whisk until smooth.
2. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add brown sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
4. In individual serving glasses or a large trifle dish, layer the pumpkin mousse and cream cheese mixture alternately.
5. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
6. To serve, top with additional whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and crushed graham crackers or pecans.
