Pumpkin Chocolate Dessert

Edible chocolate cups filled with light and fluffy pumpkin mousse are absolutely delicious, so you’ll want to serve them at your holiday parties. 

Pumpkin and chocolate are always popular dessert flavors, so it is a good thing the flavors go together so well. 

When you serve this no bake dessert at a party, guests will rave at your creative kitchen skills.

If you want to get a head start on this dessert the night before your party, you can. 

Prepare the chocolate cups ahead of time. Then, add the mousse the day you will be serving them. 

The entire dessert is quick and easy to make, but you do need to allow time for the chocolate cups to set. 

If your kids want to help, painting the chocolate cups and piping the mousse into the cups are both fun, kid-friendly steps. 

Older kids may be able to make this no bake recipe all by themselves.

However, they really are simple to make. 

They are pretty enough to serve to guests either on a buffet table or plated individually.

Or you can make them as a special treat after your regular family dinner.
