I probably start pretty much every blog post by telling you how crazy excited I am for it, right? But this post is extra exciting because it’s the ultimate, perfectly delicious Thanksgiving and fall dessert and you are going to LOVE it: Lotus Pumpkin Mousse.
I originally created this recipe for a some cooking demos I did in various cities throughout the country (Email me to arrange one in your town!), and it was such a wild hit at each demo, I knew I had to share it with all of you on this blog.
Here’s the thing. Lotus mousse is good, but lotus pumpkin mousse is just miles and miles better! I’ve seen lotus paired with flavors like chocolate, which, while good with it, kinda take over. So when I had the idea to take the warm, spiced flavors of a lotus biscoff cookie and combine them with the comforting fall flavors of pumpkin, I knew it would be a winner combo.
But wait, you may be thinking to yourself. My family will never, ever touch pumpkin mousse! Not to worry – this mousse is mostly lotus flavored – the pumpkin is an undertone that really just brings all the flavors together in a fantastic way. In fact, I passed this off as lotus mousse to one picky eating family member (shhhhhh!) and they LOVED it!

Just wanted to say that you’re hilarious. Your video on Instagram is not only informative but also entertaining.
I saw the recipe and started salivating until I remembered that my husband doesn’t like pumpkin. I was panicking because how can I make this dessert even though it’s pumpkin but how can I not make this dessert. Then you came up with the brilliant idea to tell my pumpkin haters that it’s lotus mouse. Now I can make it for shabbos.
Delish! Got lots of compliments and could not taste the pumpkin- for those who don’t like pumpkin
Can I use plain canned pumpkin? Can’t find pie filling.
