FAQs
- Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?
Yes, but adjust the sugar and spices accordingly since pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and spiced. - What if I don’t have unflavored gelatin?
You can substitute with agar-agar if you prefer a vegetarian option, following the package instructions. - Can I freeze the mousse?
While it’s best served fresh, you can freeze it for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. - How long will the mousse keep in the refrigerator?
It will stay fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
