How to Make Pumpkin Mousse

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 3/4 cups cold milk for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined.
  3. Stir in 8 ounces of whipped topping (like Cool Whip) until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Spoon the mixture into 6 wine glasses or other stemmed glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer, to allow the mousse to set completely.
  5. Before serving, garnish each glass with a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts (about 1/4 cup total).
