The time is coming soon when we will be seeing pumpkin everything.  *waits for the groans to pass* I, for one, am perfectly ok with it! I love pumpkin season. So I will use this recipe for so many things.  It's a dressy dessert, or the perfect end to a brunch, or even a yummy late night snack (shh don't tell). Plus, smother just about anything in cream cheese and I'm in love.

This is also the time of year for Rosh Hashanah, which is a Jewish Holiday featuring a number of symbolic foods.  During this time, I try to use as many of the symbolic foods as possible, so Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse Cups are sweetened with date syrup, also known as silan.  

Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse cups take 15 minutes to make and ZERO cooking time.  Yes, that's right...this recipe is perfect. Even my kids go crazy for this "fancy" dessert.  They love it's sweet, pudding-like texture. And I think my favorite thing (and theirs too) is that they can help make it.  This recipe is very friendly for kids helping in the kitchen. I like to get all hands on deck so everyone gets a chance to participate.
