How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Spiced Mousse
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the milk and pudding mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes, or until soft-set.

In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Gently fold this mixture into the pudding.

Fold 1/2 cup (120 ml) of the whipped topping into the pumpkin pudding mixture until smooth and creamy.
