Kristin_California Recipe ⋆ Quick and Easy Pumpkin Mousse

This is a fast easy treat around the holidays. Pour into chocolate shells purchased at any kitchen store for an elegant touch or with graham crackers for dipping. You can also heat ingredients in the microwave on high for 30 second intervals if you are short on time.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 24 marshmallows
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup canned pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream

Cooking Directions

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Stir in the marshmallows, milk, and pumpkin. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
2. Combine 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 cup heavy cream in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cooled pumpkin mixture. Pour mousse into ramekins or chocolate shells. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
