Use a flat silicone spatula to lightly scrape the whipped cream over the top of the mousse, then softly cut through it to the bottom, lifting the pudding on top of the cream. Continue gently with this over-under motion until the two are just combined.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use homemade whipped cream in place of store-bought whipped topping?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, homemade whipped cream will work well. The mousse might be slightly softer depending on how much you whip the cream.<\/p>\n<h3>Does pumpkin mousse have to be chilled before serving?<\/h3>\n<p>Pumpkin mousse will get firmer if you chill before serving, but if you don&#8217;t have time, that&#8217;s OK. The cream cheese and whipped topping combine with the pudding to give the mousse a stable texture right away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This easy pumpkin mousse is cool, creamy and ready in minutes.
