Indulge in a lighter healthier version of mousse with this easy 5 minute dairy free, nut free Vegan Pumpkin Pie Mousse. This pumpkin pie mousse is made with banana, pumpkin seed butter and your favorite milk.
Today’s post is something a little different and special… Congrats to one my blogger friends, Megan from the blog With Salt and Wit (formerly The House Wife Training Files). If you don’t know Megan, she’s such a sweet person and seriously talented trained chef who is expecting her first child in October!
Megan loves pumpkin among other decadent sweets. She has a long list of both savory and sweet recipes on her site and just posted an Easy Pumpkin Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart. I thought a Pumpkin Pie Mousse would be a great way to celebrate her Virtual Baby Shower. This mousse is so easy… and it’s dairy free, soy free, gluten free nut free making it allergy friendly too.
I’m celebrating Megan’s Baby Shower with some of my other blogger friends that have all created something wonderful in honor of the mom to be!

Being pregnant can be an awkward transition to having your body change to a HUGE belly that gets in the way of everything. You almost feel like you need your own zip code and should be given 2 parking spaces for easy in and out access.
Aside from the obvious physical changes there’s more subtle social changes as well…
Strangers feel the need to come up to you and start talking and asking questions. If you’re extra lucky, those strangers then feel it’s appropriate to touch your belly, after all they now know you really well after the 2 minutes you talked.
But not all the social changes are weird and creepy…
I remember receiving adoring stares from a far… nods and smiles. Not creepy at all. A welcoming of sorts. Like I had been accepted into this secret club of… parents.
It’s weird but until you have kids (and it’s usually only with the first one) people look at you in wonder. It’s knowing you’re going to be a parent for the first. They remember all the things pregnancy entails, like being sick 9 months (really 10 months) straight. The emotional roller coaster thanks to all the crazy hormones.
And let’s not forget, everyone wants to feed the pregnant lady. Not gonna lie, I LOVED this. I can’t tell you how many waitresses were super nice and all the extra sides of bacon they brought without charging. 😀
Enjoy the last days of just the 2 of you, if you can…and maybe you can make some of the goodies from the shower, like this 5 minute pumpkin mousse.
Congratulations Megan!

Hello, I’m Laura! Thanks for stopping by… I hope this blog will help you or someone you know and love. 
Love this mousse! And so happy we can all come together to celebrate Megan and her growing family! Yeah!
OH my goodness! WHAT have you ladies done?! I am beyond flattered and now really hungry 😉 You are so sweet…you are right. Being pregnant has its ups and down, and definitely feeling the end of it right now! Where is my zip code?! Ha. And oh the conversations that start! Hard not to laugh sometimes!
Much love! XO!
We’re all SO excited for you Megan! You deserve all the spoiling you could possibly receive be for baby arrives <3 You guys are going to be great parents, I just know it!
This is so pretty Laura – perfect for a baby shower. I love the pumpkin seed butter you used.
Thank you so much Jeanette! It would be easy enough to serve at party too. 😀
Aww! How sweet that you all threw her a baby shower. 🙂 I’ve never been pregnant but I get anxiety just reading what you said about people feeling your belly. I need to learn the German sentence for a polite way of saying NUH-UH!
This mousse looks delightful! Love the ingredients.
Lol, not everyone is a belly toucher but be ware since it’s bound to happen! 😉 Thank so much Erin!
I love this! Such an easy treat for everyone 😉 New mammas for sure!

Thanks so much Jaren! It tastes just like pumpkin pie!
Yay for Meg! This pumpkin pie mousse is gorgeous and perfect for a virtual baby shower! Haha yes, I totally remember all the strangers and questions when you’re pregnant. Awkward and interesting at the same time but always with good intentions 🙂 Love baby showers – so fun and sweet! 🙂
Love the idea of pumpkin mousse, so much lighter than pie!
