This delicious and light dessert is fabulous with ginger cookies as an accompaniment. It’s also a good filling for a no-bake pie in a graham cracker or crushed gingersnap crust. Another festive idea is using it as a filling for Pumpkin Parfaits, layering it with crushed gingersnaps and whipped cream.
⏲️ Time needed
The mousse only takes about 5 minutes to mix up, but it’ll need to chill for about 3 hours, so be sure to plan ahead. Frozen whipped topping will take several hours to thaw, so don’t forget to put that in the fridge the night before. Bottom line: plan at least a day ahead.
