Instant (Emergency) Pumpkin "Mousse"

There comes a time in every woman's life when she needs dessert and she needs it right now. For me, that time was last night, when I couldn't get the thought of pumpkin mousse out of my head. I scoured the web for recipes, all of which seemed more time consuming (i.e. not instant) than I could deal with. So, what did I do? I improvised. And the results? Well, at least in my hungry and tired state: delicious.
I had:

  • A jar of pumpkin butter. 
  • Leftover heavy whipping cream. 
  • Pecans.


Here's what I did to make my instant pumpkin mousse, which, who am I kidding, is sort of just pumpkiny whipped cream...

 Beat 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream to soft peaks. Add in two tbsp pumpkin butter and beat until incorporated. Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with crushed pecans. Devour.
