5 Minute Pumpkin Mousse {Dairy-Free, No Bake, Gluten-Free, Healthy}

This mousse is not only dairy-free, gluten-free and loaded with vitamins and minerals, but it also only takes 5 minutes to make!

Sometimes you just need something quick, easy and packed with nutrition to get you through the day.  Or something to eat after dinner to have something to look forward to.  This mousse is so ridiculously easy to make, it’s impossible to mess up.

I love my Silk dairy-free yogurt alternative (as you already know) but sometimes I just want a little more with it.  Does that make sense?  I love adding my homemade granola, fresh fruit, chia seeds and making a little parfait.  But this time, I must say, I have outdone myself.  Why, you ask? Because even people who don’t cook or bake can make this mousse.  Wait until you see how easy these are to make!

Silk thinks that Tuesdays are the perfect day of the week that could use a little bit more love.  And who in the world wouldn’t love this Pumpkin Mousse?  Oh and these are perfect when you need a nutritious breakfast on-the-go too!  But let’s be honest, some days you just want this for dinner too.  We’ve all been there and every now and then it’s ok.

Pumpkin Mousse

Course Snack

Servings 4 servings

Author Lauren Kelly Nutrition

Ingredients

• 1 cup Silk Vanilla Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative
• 1 15 ounce can pumpkin
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup 100% maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until completely combined.
2. Serve immediately or you can refrigerate and allow it to thicken a bit.
3. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

I wasn’t exaggerating one bit, these are crazy easy to make!  I’ll be honest, I’ve made this a few times (just to make sure it came out perfect and because it’s my new favorite treat!) and the first time I ended up mixing everything together in a blender.  Besides creating more stuff to clean up, it came out with a thinner consistency.  So I made life easier and decided to just mix it all together in a bowl.  Perfection.

I personally strongly dislike any type of whipped cream (and now my kids don’t like it either!), but they did look prettier with it.  So my husband ate the ones with whipped cream and my kids and I ate these…

They might look a little sad without the whipped cream but they were incredible.  My younger two almost got into a fist fight for the last one, but let’s not talk about that.
