Summer is almost over: It’s getting a little cooler, days are a bit shorter, but I welcome the new season with this autumnal recipe! 😃
This one is a very quick to whip up recipe with very few ingredients necessary and you can top it with whatever crunchy toppings you have in your house. I love a spiced pumpkin latte during this season so my occasional treat would be to get one from Starbucks once in a while! The only problem I find with it is the level of sweetness which is a bit sickening and I always end up not drinking the whole cup 🥤…
With this mousse though, I can control the level of sweetness and it feels like eating an autumnal cloud ⛅🙂 It also happens to be vegan for my vegan friends out there!
I made a batch for the whole week where I topped each portion with some of my crunchy granola to have a mixture of smooth and crunchy at the same time, winner combination!🥰
Find the recipe below:
My vegan pumpkin mousse 🎃
Servings: 10 portions
Time required: 15 minutes
Equipment required: Electric whisk
Ingredients
- 1 can of pumpkin puree or 425 g (I use the brand Baking buddy)
- 1 container of vegan double cream or 270mL (Elmea plant based or any other double cream you have!)
- 1/3 cup of Maple syrup 🍁+ extra for drizzling
- 1 tsp of ground sweet cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp of ground ginger
- granola as toppings
Instructions
- With an electric whisk, whip up the cream with 2 tbsp of maple syrup until it forms stiff peaks
- In another bowl, mix the can of pumpkin puree, all the spices and the leftover maple syrup (taste the mixture so you can adjust it to your liking!)
- With a spatula, gently mix 3/4 of the whipped cream with the flavoured pumpkin puree until just combined
- With a spoon, fill in your yogurt pots with 3/4 of pumpkin mousse and a dollop of the whipped cream on top
- Add a tbsp of crunchy granola then a drizzle of maple syrup
Voila!
You can also present it layered in a tall glass alternating the pumpkin mousse/whipped cream/granola x2 for an elegant dessert. Whichever way you decide to present it, it will taste amazing!😊 Enjoy!🎃
