Recipe Ingredients

• 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree (not pie filling)
• 1/3 cup Powdered Erythritol
• 2 tsp Instant Espresso Powder
• 1 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• Whipped Cream for topping
• Ground Cinnamon for dusting

How To Make

Step 1

Pour the heavy cream into a large chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl and place it in the fridge.

Step 2

In the same large bowl (no need to wash it), beat the cream cheese and powdered erythritol on medium speed until completely smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin puree, instant espresso powder, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until everything is perfectly combined and the color is uniform.

Step 4

Gently fold the chilled whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture in three additions, using a spatula with slow sweeping motions. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream as this gives the mousse its light, airy texture.

Step 5

Divide the mousse among 6 serving cups or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set and chilled through.

Step 6

Before serving, top each mousse with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of ground cinnamon.

Tips

Chill Your Bowl and Beaters

Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes before you whip the heavy cream. Cold equipment makes the cream whip up faster and hold its shape much better.

If your bowl is warm or even room temperature, the cream will take longer to whip and might not reach stiff peaks at all. This matters a lot for mousse because those stiff peaks are what give it that light, airy texture.

Make Sure the Cream Cheese Is Actually Soft

The cream cheese needs to be fully softened before you start beating it. Leave it on the counter for at least an hour, or until it’s easy to press with your finger.

If it’s still cold and firm, it won’t blend smoothly with the erythritol. You’ll end up with little lumps of cream cheese throughout the mousse, and those are really hard to get rid of once you’ve already folded in the whipped cream.

If you forgot to take it out early, cut it into small cubes and let it sit for about 20 minutes. That speeds things up a lot.

Dissolve the Espresso Powder First

Instant espresso powder can sometimes leave tiny gritty bits in the mousse if it doesn’t dissolve fully. Mix it with the vanilla extract before adding it to the pumpkin mixture. The liquid helps it dissolve completely.

This way you get a smooth, even coffee flavor throughout the mousse instead of random bitter specks when you take a bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use brewed coffee instead of instant espresso powder?

It’s best to stick with instant espresso powder for this recipe because it adds rich coffee flavor without introducing extra liquid. If you use brewed coffee, even a small amount can thin out the mousse and mess with the texture.

If you really can’t find instant espresso powder, you could try instant coffee granules instead – just use the same amount. The flavor won’t be quite as deep, but it’ll still give you that latte taste without making the mousse runny.
