OK, so how cute does the mousse look stuffed into that little punkin’?? This recipe is soooo super easy. I modified it a bit from a Dave Lieberman recipe— the key is whipping the cream right before you serve it so it stays fluffy and light! If you’re using mousse cups, you can put a little ginger snap in the mousse for added “pretty” and “yummy” effect!
