For an elegant presentation, use high-quality dark chocolate shells. You can find these at specialty food stores or online. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the pumpkin mixture while it cools. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an extra touch of indulgence. For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the pumpkin mixture before cooling.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows, milk, and pumpkin puree. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and homogenous. (Approx. 5-7 minutes)
02
StepRemove the skillet from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool completely. This may take about 30 minutes. Ensure it is cool to the touch before proceeding.
03
StepIn a large, chilled bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and the chilled heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
04
StepGently fold the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
05
StepSpoon or pipe the mousse into individual ramekins or chocolate shells. Cover each serving with plastic wrap, pressing gently on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
06
StepRefrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to achieve the perfect consistency.
