I currently don’t have a strict vegan diet, but I thought this vegan pumpkin mousse recipe was pretty darn good and unbelievably easy. It tastes just like the “real stuff,” and you won’t even miss the heavy cream or eggs. Sorry, if you are strictly vegan, no whipped cream on top for you!!
What makes this silky pumpkin mousse recipe so easy? It only requires three ingredients (plus some spices for flavor) and a blender. I’ll let you in on the secret ingredient: tofu. Yes, you can create delicious mousse recipes with tofu! I have made a vegan chocolate mousse before, and some people were skeptical, but I’m telling you it is DELICIOUS. The tofu makes a silky smooth texture that is light and whipped when blended in a blender. For this recipe, I used firm tofu and canned organic pumpkin.
Even though it is Fall and there are a million yummy dessert recipes out there, sometimes you don’t feel like doing all of the work. This pumpkin mousse recipe is elegant, yet fast and easy, and healthy too! After trying vegan pumpkin mousse, I promise you won’t want to go back to the unhealthy version.
Do you believe me when I tell you that you can have delicious spiced pumpkin mousse in under 5 minutes? Better believe it. Check it out ->
- 1 can (15 oz) organic pumpkin
- 1 package (15 oz) firm or silken tofu
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp allspice
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Taste and add more sugar or other sweetener to increase sweetness until desired amount is achieved.
YUM! This mousse looks so good! And it’s healthy – bonus!
Love this mousse! So festive and creamy and fluffy!
Thanks Michelle! 🙂
What a simple and fun recipe, love the use of tofu. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
Yummy! Your mouse looks and sounds amazing! What a great idea! Your Magic Bullet certainly can do a lot. 🙂
Thanks Jennifer! It does 🙂
I love how simple this is and how delicious! This would be so great for a no bake alternative to pumpkin pie!
I agree – healthier than pie 🙂
Dearest Kristianne,
Wow, this is super-easy and even your baby could eat this! Thank you always for the most clever ideas.
Hugs and happy Sunday.

Thank you Mariette!
It’s so fun to experiment with vegan recipes. This is such a cool, fun treat, and pretty healthy too!
How far ahead can I make this? Tuesday for Thursday?
That is just fine! It has lasted 3 days for me and still tasted great!
Lovely! The flavour is eactly how I expected it! I am going to use this cream to top a Halloween cake 🙂 I will ingrease the pumpkin proportion and add agar agar to get a firmer texture.
Thank you so much for the share !!!
