Pumpkin Mousse with Fresh Whipped Cream

Pumpkin Mousse with Homemade Maple Whipped Cream

One of my favorite Fall desserts is pumpkin pie. I often wonder why we only enjoy pumpkin pie during Fall? However, baking a homemade pumpkin pie can be time consuming. 

If you’re craving pumpkin pie, but don’t have the time to bake, try this incredibly easy and delicious recipe for pumpkin mousse with homemade maple whipped cream. This recipe has the taste and texture of a pumpkin pie with just the right amount of pumpkin spice flavor.

Oh and did I mention there’s maple syrup in both the mousse and the whipped cream? Delicious! 

What is the Difference Between Canned Pumpkin and Pie Filling?

Most of the pumpkin recipes you see on this site call for Pumpkin Puree. But sometimes that can be confusing when you go to the grocery store and see pumpkin pie mix next to a can of pure pumpkin puree.  So what is the difference between the two? 

Pumpkin puree is just as the can says, it’s cooked, pureed pumpkin. Nothing has been added to it. On the other hand pumpkin pie filling is flavored with spices such as cinnamon, clove, allspice and ginger. 

There’s also sugar and spices added to pumpkin pie mix. It’s an easy way to make pumpkin recipes with all the spices and sugar added.
