Luscious Pumpkin Mousse Recipe


I'm still on a roll with the pumpkin treats. Pumpkin mousse was in order recently. I still have ice cream to post, and will be making pumpkin cheesecake this week. Mmm! What pumpkin delights have you been making?


Pumpkin Mousse

I can never get enough irish moss based desserts. The moss adds such a great spongy yet fluffy texture, while providing sea veggie health benefits. Again, I've used fresh baked and pureed pumpkin, but go the easy route and use canned if you want.

1 cup pumpkin puree*
1/2 cup irish moss gel
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
3-4 drops stevia
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2-3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon molasses
1/8 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/3 cup melted coconut oil

In a high speed blender, puree all but the coconut oil, until smooth.
Add the oil and blend again.
Pour the mixture into ramekins.
Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours.

I have never tried irish moss but have been wanting to. The picture looks great and I love pumpkin but havent been able to cook as much as I would like to with it this year.

Everything looks so yummy! I so agree on the great synergy of pumpkin and irish moss--would work with yam too I'm sure.

Made the pumpkin mousse this week, so yummy! The spices and sweetness balance was perfect! Although it was my first time using Irish moss and I don't think I got the ratio quite right as it didn't set quite as thick as mousse. Excited to try more of your recipes!
