Well, this is it, the final recipe in our Pumpkin-licious Disney Dessert series and boy is it a good one! Our final recipe is for a creamy, dreamy Pumpkin Mousse! And finally, one from the east coast! This one belongs to the Epcot Food & Wine festival and combines delicious layers of spice cake, pumpkin mousse, apricot sauce and a crunchy craisin dappled streusel to top it off! Yep, the best is always last!
You can find this potential pumpkin pie replacement right outside of the good, old American Pavilion and it is worth a stop! If you can’t be there to taste this tempting treat, no worries! Now you can make it at home and serve it for Thanksgiving dessert! Trying something new is always fun and if it’s a Disney recipe it’s almost guaranteed to be a huge hit!
