Ingredients

  • Graham Crackers (depends how thick you want your crust to be) About 2-3 crackers per jar should be good.
  • 1 package of instant vanilla pudding (approx 100g)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (and a bit more for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small can of pumpkin puree (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1.5 cups of heavy cream or whipping cream (33%)
Instructions

Crush graham crackers in a plate or bowl and layer them at the bottom of each jar. You can make it as thick as you want depending on how much crunch you want.
In a large bowl whisk together pudding mix, spices, and salt.
Add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, and whole milk and beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
In another large bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 min.
Fold 2/3 of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until smooth.
Spoon or pipe into the serving jars and top with remaining whipped cream.
Garnish with a sprinkle of Cinnamon and serve.
Tips
  • If you plan on making these ahead and refrigerating before serving, don't add the graham crackers to the bottom of the jars as fridge temperature will ruin the texture of the graham crackers and you'll loose the "crunch". Instead you can top the mousse with graham crackers when you're ready to serve.
