Vegan Pumpkin Pie Mousse
Prep time
Total time
I’m a firm believer in dessert for breakfast, especially if it’s wholesome but tastes decadent. Of course, this light, silky mousse also makes a delicious snack or after-dinner dessert.

Notes
Pecan Pie Mousse Option: Sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoon of chopped toasted pecans over each serving.
Leftover Tip: Don’t know what to do with the remaining pumpkin purée? Just freeze it in half-cup portions. That way, you can defrost it overnight in the fridge and be ready to make this scrumptious mousse first thing in the morning. Alternatively, use leftover pumpkin purée in a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie.
