Let’s get to the fun part – making the mousse! This recipe is incredibly easy, and the results are so rewarding. First, gather all your ingredients and equipment. Having everything within easy reach makes the process much smoother.

Next, combine all the ingredients (cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, honey or maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract) in your blender or food processor. Make sure the lid is securely fastened!

Now, blend until completely smooth and creamy. This might take a minute or two, depending on the power of your blender. You want to ensure there are absolutely no lumps of cottage cheese remaining.

Once the mixture is perfectly smooth, carefully spoon it into your serving glasses or bowls. Don’t overfill them – leave a little bit of space at the top for the garnish.

Next, cover the glasses with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour. This chilling time is essential, as it allows the mousse to set and the flavors to meld together.

Finally, just before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This adds a touch of visual appeal and enhances the delicious fall flavors. And that’s it! Your Pumpkin Cottage Cheese Mousse is ready to be enjoyed.
