Pumpkin Mousse Dip

This is what most people call "pumpkin fluff," but I don't think that correctly describes the taste and texture. This is really more of a mousse. It can be served in a variety of ways. Dip graham crackers, apple slices, ginger snaps, or other sweet crackers (see left for my poor iPhone photography with animal crackers). Or you could put it in a graham cracker crust, top with whipped cream, and it would be a gorgeous pie. I also saw someone online make a parfait by alternating between pumpkin mousse and whipped cream in a nice glass, and you could top it with crystallized ginger, chocolate shavings, or graham cracker crumbs.
