Pumpkin Mousse

We’re elbows deep in squash season, and that means more gourds than you can shake a jack-o-lantern at! Stop by Oliver’s to check out this bounty of seasonal squash, and pick up your locally grown Muelrath Ranch pumpkins just in time for Halloween. If you love all things pumpkin, you have got to try this rich and creamy pumpkin mousse! We’ve done it here with canned pumpkin puree to make it super easy, but we love subbing an equal amount of homemade puree. Simply roast a small Sugar Pie pumpkin and puree until smooth for a fresh flavor that can’t be beat.
