You all know we like really easy recipes, right? This holiday season we have partnered again with Hood® Cream to share an easy 5 step Pumpkin Mousse Recipe that you seriously can make, with your eyes closed. Well not literally but you know what I mean. I put a new spin on Pumpkin Pie creating a Pumpkin Mousse Pie with crumbled graham crackers in a wine glass. Many of you may have read our post a couple weeks ago that we are selling our house and in hopes that we can move soon, we have started packing and needless to say, most of my holiday glassware is packed. Wine glasses always work in pinch for dessert dishes.

We have partnered with Hood Cream for the last three years sharing delicious holiday recipes, snacks and delicious desserts. Founded in 1846, today Hood is one of the largest branded dairy operators in the United States. Hood
is the number-one dairy brand in New England, which makes our partnership extra special. Living in New England my entire life, I have grown up with the Hood brand since I was kid. Four generations of using Hood products, starting with my grandparents and now our kids.

This entire recipe took 10 minutes to make and about an hour to cool. So easy and so yummy! To save time, I purchased a graham cracker crust that was pre-made in the baking isle and just tipped the tin over and removed from the tin. The graham crackers were already crushed and ready to be spooned into the wine glasses.

Hood Cream is rich and creamy with the best body and texture to take your recipes to another level of taste and enjoyment. Our 5 step pumpkin mousse was a hit for dessert the other night and now I have to remake it for my grandparents in the Nursing Home. They missed out on it and when I was telling my gram about it during our last visit, she was disgusted I didn’t save her any. -ha.
