    Jump to Recipe

    Why this recipe is just so good....

    • It has all the familiar flavors of pumpkin pie with the puree and lots of warm spices.
    • The texture is creamy and has a light and airy consistency from the whipped cream.
    • No baking required for the filling. It goes together in about 10 minutes. The crust also only needs about 10 minutes in the oven.
    • Another light and creamy pumpkin dessert to try is Pumpkin Curd Donuts.

    Ingredient Notes

    almond flour, melted butter, sugar substitute, spices.
    • This is an almond flour based crust with some cinnamon added for a nice compliment to the mousse.
    pumpkin puree, sugar substitute, pumpkin spice, cream cheese, whipping cream.
    • Pumpkin puree and spices give the mousse its traditional flavor. But the cream cheese and whipped cream lighten up the mousse.
    • We are also using more whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon to top the mousse. Some other ideas that would taste delicious would be a topping of crushed pecans or walnuts. Or you could drizzle on some sugar free caramel or chocolate syrup.

    Step by Step Directions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine crust ingredients, mixing well.
    • Spray pie plate with non stick baking spray.
    • Press crust mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Push down evenly. You can use your fingers but also try the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup as well. Poke a few hole in the bottom with the tines of a fork. This prevents the bottom having air bubbles in the crust.

    • Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool while making mousse.
    • In a mixer, blend mousse ingredients for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and blend for another minute.

    FAQ & Baking Tips

    How to cut and serve pie?

    Make sure to spray the bottom and sides of the pie plate before adding the crust. When serving, make two cuts in the pie for the first slice. Make a third cut which will give room for when you remove the first slice. Use a sharp pie server to help get underneath the crust. Cook's Illustrated
    has a video for this technique.

    How long will the mousse pie last?

    You can make the mousse and whipped cream the day ahead of when you need it. Just store them separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator and spread the mousse and whipped cream on the pie crust right before serving.
    It will stay fresh for another day in the refrigerator. Since the texture will change, it is not recommended to freeze the mousse pie.

    • Whipped Cream-make sure you use a large enough bowl. The cream will double in size as you are whipping it. And don't over whip. You want the cream to just hold to the beaters but are not stiff like egg whites.
    • For best results, use very cold heavy cream. Also, put the mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or so and the cream will whip up nicely.
