Droooool.
I love dessert. I love pumpkin. I love pumpkin desserts. I love easy pumpkin desserts.
This little recipe falls under each of those categories.
Win!
When I arrived home from work today, I had a package waiting for me from Alouette.
Among the cheeses included in the package was a tub of the company’s limited edition cheesecake flavored soft spreadable cheese.
Spreadable cheesecake? Sign me up!
I ate about four fingers full of the cheese (peanut butter finger style 😉 ), before a light bulb went off.
I love cheesecake, but I prefer flavored cheesecakes, as I find them more palatable. On Monday I purchased a can of pumpkin and I had a feeling I could combine the canned pumpkin with the cheesecake spread to make a delicious dessert.
I vigorously stirred together equal parts cheesecake spread and pumpkin before adding in a pumpkin pie spice for a little extra pizzazz.
I tasted my concoction and knew I had a winner! It tasted like pumpkin cheesecake mousse!
I think this dessert would be fantastic spread on top of graham crackers, or made in a larger portion and spread in a graham cracker crust.
I want more!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse (serves one)

- 4tbsp. canned pumpkin

Stir cheesecake spread, pumpkin and 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice together until mixture is fully combined. Top with a dash of pumpkin pie spice and enjoy!
Note: This recipe can easily be adapted for more people. Simply combine equal parts pumpkin and cheesecake spread and season with pumpkin pie spice to taste.
Enjoy your night, friends! 😀

Love that! Kinda reminds me of my pumpkin yogurt I enjoyed at lunch today…YUM! 🙂
i love the idea of measuring snacks in “finger fulls”
OMG I WANT THIS NOW 😀
I love the simple recipes you post!
I need to get that!
This looks great! I am not a plain cheesecake girl either so this would be a winner. The best cheesecake I ever tasted was from The Cheesecake Factory…we got the Tiramisu Cheesecake…oh my! I don’t really like Tiramisu and I don’t really like Cheesecake but somehow together this hit the mark!
That looks GOOD!
That looks so good. I am so glad you posted about this, because I have never heard of this stuff!
Ooh so creative! I love easy but special-tasting desserts like that 🙂
LOVE it. Seriously. Pumpkin cheesecake is my favorite.
Alouette is genius – cheesecake spread?!
That looks amazing. I bet this is right up there with your 2 ingredient pumpkin cookies (which I keep thinking about)!
Looks yummy! A 2 ingredients dessert is definitely a winner :).
looks delicious! i made a pumpkin cheesecake for tomorrow night and it was a lot of work…but so worth it 🙂
Now the question is…WHERE do I get that spread? 😀
mmm, looks so good!
Hey Julie! I’m so sorry that I didn’t get a chance to congratulate you and Ryan sooner (I was gone the whole weekend), but I am soooo happy for you both! Congrats again! 😀
Loovee simple desserts like this. Yummy!
“Droooool.” is right. I can’t wait to make this, but first I’ll have to find the spreadable cheese.
I will be looking for that cheesecake cream cheese. Genius!
Yum…I want that as soft serve.
I love dessert too! Sounds delicious 🙂
That looks so good and easy!
I never liked cheesecake that much, but I think the pumpkin would make me like it a lot :))
Oh, my! This looks amazing!!! I am not a huge fan of cheesecake but since it’s mixed with pumpkin I might be able to make an exception! 🙂
Yum!! that looks soo good! You guys sure do have some cook stuff food-wise down there in the US. Why can’t we have Alouette cheesecake spreadable cheese up here?? or even more than 1 brand and 1 size of greek yogurt too while i’m at it? 😉
oops! typo! .. should have said cooL stuff not cook 😉
OMG! Just had a similar (healthy!) pumpkin mousse! It was pumpkin, lite cool whip & sugar free vanilla pudding mix. You pipe it into mini phyllo cups & top with a little more whipped cream & pumpkin pie spice. I DIE!!!
Yummy! I LOVE pumpkin cheesecake! What a great and easy way to get the fix…
Is that a ZAK Designs bowl? I have a very similar one that’s pink.
Must… get… hands… on spreadable cheesecake!
Hi Julie! This looks like Thanksgiving in a bowl!!!! It can probably be varied so many different ways (**my fatkid wheels are turning!**) cocoa powder & oreo crumbs?!
Wow. This looks AMAZING. And I am so obsessed with pumpkin right now!! Pumpkin fondue, pumpkin mousse pie, pumpkin soup….and all healthy! here are my fave recipes:
