Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows, milk, and pumpkin puree. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and homogenous. (Approx. 5-7 minutes)

02

Step

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool completely. This may take about 30 minutes. Ensure it is cool to the touch before proceeding.

03

Step

In a large, chilled bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and the chilled heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

04

Step

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

05

Step

Spoon or pipe the mousse into individual ramekins or chocolate shells. Cover each serving with plastic wrap, pressing gently on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

06

Step

Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to achieve the perfect consistency.

For an elegant presentation, use high-quality dark chocolate shells. You can find these at specialty food stores or online.
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the pumpkin mixture while it cools.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an extra touch of indulgence.
For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the pumpkin mixture before cooling.

    I didn't have any pumpkin pie spice, so I used a mix of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. It was still delicious!
