Sharing is caring!

Pumpkin Spice Mousse makes a wonderful fall holiday dessert idea. While it looks elegant, this dessert is actually quite easy to make.  The mousse itself just takes 5 ingredients, and with the help of a refrigerated pie crust, you can add an elegant leaf element to the dessert.

Refrigerated pie crusts are also great for making these apple tarts and empanadas too.

Hello Friends! With all the fall flavors swirling around, today I am sharing a simple pumpkin dessert idea with you.

This delightful pumpkin mousse is one of those classic desserts that looks like you spent hours, but in reality, it takes just a little bit of time.

You can use any small cookie cutter you like. Fall leaves always look festive, and you can find this small leaf cookie cutter set here.
