How to Make Frozen Pumpkin Mousse Pie

  1. Prepare the pie crust using recipe #78579 (or your favorite pre-made crust). If using a pre-made crust, ensure it is thawed if frozen.
  2. If making your own crust, bake as per recipe #78579 and allow to cool completely. Then, cover and freeze for up to 3 days.
  3. For the pumpkin mousse filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the pumpkin mousse into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
  9. Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to slightly soften.
