With Thanksgiving around the corner, I will be making my all-time favorite no-bake coconut pumpkin mousse pie. This recipe is great for fall entertaining! Pumpkins are the perfect fall weather food. When pumpkins start hitting our local grocery stores, I buy a few to cook up sweet and savory pumpkin dishes and save a few to carve jack-O-lanterns. It’s fun for the whole family.
What makes up this No Bake Coconut Pumpkin Mousse Pie?
This No-Bake Coconut Pumpkin Mousse Pie is the easiest dessert that comes together in less than an hour and tastes fantastic! Before you begin, consider yourself warned – pumpkin puree + coconut milk when combined with whipped cream and cream cheese makes the best mousse pie. It is so luscious, creamy and addicting that even the pumpkin-haters (like my son) asked for a second serving.
How to make No Bake Coconut Pumpkin Mousse Pie?
the crunchy and crispy bottom layer, creamy and silky mousse layer and finally topped with toasted coconut, chocolate, and caramel layer.
Altogether it is heavenly and sinfully delicious!! Start by making the base layer – crushed graham crackers + soften butter + coconut flakes. Crush the three together and press it at the bottom of a greased springform pan. Set in the fridge to chill. Time for the center layer. Combine cream cheese + sugar+coconut milk + pumpkin puree in a bowl. Whisk until well blended. Pour over the chilled cookie base and allow it to set for 5-6 hours. I have used store-bought pumpkin puree for this recipe. But if it’s not too much of a work for you, you can use homemade pumpkin puree for this recipe. Once the pie is set, generously top it with toasted coconut flakes and chocolate syrup.
A perfect make-ahead dessert!
Amidst so many festive preparations, this simple no-bake pie recipe can trim your workload tremendously. Set the pie and store in your refrigerator covered with a wrap. It’s good for 3-4 days in your fridge. Save the toasted coconut flakes for the last. Sprinkle just before serving. This recipe can be customized to your liking. Decorate the way you like it.
Not a coconut lover, no worries.
