Steps:
- Beat cream cheese: Using a large bowl and a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until very smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Add pumpkin + sugars: Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar and confectioner's sugar to the bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until well combined, about 3 minutes.
- Add flavorings: Add the vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt to the bowl. Beat on medium-high until creamy and smooth; making sure no lumps of cream cheese remain - if so, continue beating!
- Fold in whipped cream: Add 2 cups of the whipped topping to the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture until well combined. Make sure you fold gently so you don't deflate the whipped topping! Gently fold until the topping in completely combined and no streaks of cream remain.
- Serve or Store: Either transfer the mousse to a piping bag or gently scoop the mousse into serving cups, glasses or a trifle dish. Top with remaining whipped topping and whatever toppings you love! Serve immediately and enjoy! Storage: Alternately, you can cover the mixing bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for several days.

PUMPKIN MOUSSE
Steps:
- Heat the half-and-half, pumpkin, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until hot, about 5 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks in another bowl, stir some of the hot pumpkin into the egg yolks to heat them, then pour the egg-pumpkin mixture back into the double boiler and stir well. Heat the mixture over the simmering water for another 4 to 5 minutes, until it begins to thicken, stirring constantly. You don't want the eggs to scramble. Remove from the heat.
- Dissolve the gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water. Add the dissolved gelatin, banana, and orange zest to the pumpkin mixture and mix well. Set aside to cool.
- For the decoration: Whip the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk until you have firm peaks. Fold half the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture.
- Pour the mousse into a 7 by 4-inch souffle dish. Pipe or spoon the remaining whipped cream decoratively on the mousse and sprinkle, if desired, with orange zest. Serve chilled.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your mousse a richer flavor and a more vibrant color. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients will help the mousse set up more quickly and smoothly. Be sure to chill your cream, milk, and pumpkin puree before starting the recipe.
- Whip your cream until stiff peaks form: Stiff peaks are essential for a light and airy mousse. Be sure to whip your cream until it holds its shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
- Fold your ingredients together gently: Folding your ingredients together gently will help prevent the mousse from deflating. Use a rubber spatula and fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin puree until just combined.
- Chill your mousse before serving: Chilling your mousse before serving will help it set up and firm up. Chill your mousse for at least 2 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
This quick and easy pumpkin mousse is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's light, airy, and flavorful, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
