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)
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. Alouette cheesecake spreadable cheese
- 4tbsp. canned pumpkin
- 1/4 tsp. + a dash of pumpkin pie spice
Directions
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! 😀

Jessica @ How Sweet says

Kelly says
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!
Maria says

“Droooool.” is right. I can’t wait to make this, but first I’ll have to find the spreadable cheese.

I never liked cheesecake that much, but I think the pumpkin would make me like it a lot :))
Hope says
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! 🙂
Laura @ Tidbits says
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? 😉
Laura @ Tidbits says
oops! typo! .. should have said cooL stuff not cook 😉
Melissa says
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!!!
Rachel @ The Avid Appetite says
Yummy! I LOVE pumpkin cheesecake! What a great and easy way to get the fix…
Christine @ CEM eats says
Is that a ZAK Designs bowl? I have a very similar one that’s pink.
Must… get… hands… on spreadable cheesecake!
Mindy says
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?!
Amelia says
