Light Pumpkin Mousse

0 comments

Pumpkin is one of my very favorite flavors of fall and winter. I can’t get enough of it. And while pumpkin — like all squash — makes for a very healthy high-fiber low-fat dish, when converted into dessert form (in particular, my mom’s awesome pumpkin pie) it totally blows any attempts at practicing self-control, and I pay for it on the scale throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.

Fortunately, I learned about this fabulous light airy delicious pumpkin mousse recipe at a Weight Watchers meeting a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. When I hit Lifetime years ago (I’m a backslidden Lifetimer), this wonderful easy dessert literally saved my butt every holiday season. This recipe somehow got lost from my regular holiday cooking repertoire, so I had to hunt around on the Weight Watchers forums to find it again. And it’s just as yummy asĀ  I remember it being.
