Pumpkin Mousse
This recipe for mousse is really easy to make. The basic ingredients are vanilla pudding and pumpkin puree. Mix those together with spices, sugar and milk and you have the basics of a pumpkin mousse!
Fold whipped heavy cream into the mixture and you’re all set!
Chocolate Cups
To make this yummy mousse so you can grab it and go (and toss the spoon to the side) we’ve made a chocolate cup.
Before making your mousse, get these cups sitting in the fridge hardening. You’ll start by melting chocolate chips in the microwave, then use a basting brush to coat cupcake liners in a muffin tin.
Let them sit in the fridge for about four hours or until they’re hard. You can also just go ahead and do this step the night before. When they’re done, peel the cupcake liner off carefully before filling with mousse.
Top these off with a chocolate chip, a pecan, some coconut or cinnamon. You can keep these in the refrigerator for up to four days. Enjoy!
