Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 cup crushed graham crackers

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Whipped cream (for topping)

Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Divide the mixture evenly among serving cups, pressing down firmly to create a base.

    Make the mousse: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Continue blending until well combined and creamy.

      Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated. This will give the mousse a light and airy texture.

        Assemble the cups: Spoon or pipe the pumpkin cheesecake mousse into each graham cracker crust cup, filling them to the top.

          Chill: Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 2 hours to allow them to set and the flavors to meld.

            Serve: Before serving, top each mousse cup with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
