Droooool.
I love dessert. I love pumpkin. I love pumpkin desserts. I love easy pumpkin desserts.
This little recipe falls under each of those categories.
Win!
When I arrived home from work today, I had a package waiting for me from Alouette.
Among the cheeses included in the package was a tub of the company’s limited edition cheesecake flavored soft spreadable cheese.
Spreadable cheesecake? Sign me up!
I ate about four fingers full of the cheese (peanut butter finger style 
), before a light bulb went off.
I love cheesecake, but I prefer flavored cheesecakes, as I find them more palatable. On Monday I purchased a can of pumpkin and I had a feeling I could combine the canned pumpkin with the cheesecake spread to make a delicious dessert.
I vigorously stirred together equal parts cheesecake spread and pumpkin before adding in a pumpkin pie spice for a little extra pizzazz.
I tasted my concoction and knew I had a winner! It tasted like pumpkin cheesecake mousse!
I think this dessert would be fantastic spread on top of graham crackers, or made in a larger portion and spread in a graham cracker crust.
I want more!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse (serves one)
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. Alouette cheesecake spreadable cheese
- 4tbsp. canned pumpkin
- 1/4 tsp. + a dash of pumpkin pie spice
Directions
Stir cheesecake spread, pumpkin and 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice together until mixture is fully combined. Top with a dash of pumpkin pie spice and enjoy!
Note: This recipe can easily be adapted for more people. Simply combine equal parts pumpkin and cheesecake spread and season with pumpkin pie spice to taste.
Enjoy your night, friends! 
Love that! Kinda reminds me of my pumpkin yogurt I enjoyed at lunch today…YUM!

Jessica @ How Sweet
This looks great! I am not a plain cheesecake girl either so this would be a winner. The best cheesecake I ever tasted was from The Cheesecake Factory…we got the Tiramisu Cheesecake…oh my! I don’t really like Tiramisu and I don’t really like Cheesecake but somehow together this hit the mark!

“Droooool.” is right. I can’t wait to make this, but first I’ll have to find the spreadable cheese.
Erika @ Food, Fitness, & Fun

Marina
Oh, my! This looks amazing!!! I am not a huge fan of cheesecake but since it’s mixed with pumpkin I might be able to make an exception!
Hope
Yum!! that looks soo good! You guys sure do have some cook stuff food-wise down there in the US. Why can’t we have Alouette cheesecake spreadable cheese up here?? or even more than 1 brand and 1 size of greek yogurt too while i’m at it?
Laura @ Tidbits
oops! typo! .. should have said cooL stuff not cook
Laura @ Tidbits
OMG! Just had a similar (healthy!) pumpkin mousse! It was pumpkin, lite cool whip & sugar free vanilla pudding mix. You pipe it into mini phyllo cups & top with a little more whipped cream & pumpkin pie spice. I DIE!!!
Melissa
