Shooters, eh?? No no, this is non-alcoholic related {my apologies} but I promise you just as fun and delicious! I know the next thing you’re thinking…another pumpkin recipe?? Really?? Yes I know. But in my defense, pumpkin rocks, it’s still Fall and I happened to STILL have 3 cans of pumpkin leftover from my massive hoarding adventure.
These little shooters are the most delicious little treats ever and, if you’re better at layering the cups than I am {sigh}, turn out to be perfect desserts for holiday parties. Lucky for you they’re only 138 calories for the entire glass!
You can’t beat that.
Plus they took little to no effort {shh just don’t tell your guests} and these were super quick to make, no baking required! I wasn’t sure how I would like the combination of pumpkin and vanilla when I first read this recipe, but to be honest it was really great. Next time I might play around with a pie using the same flavors. Oh and if you don’t like gingersnap cookies as topping, feel free to substitute with graham crackers.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add pumpkin, milk, pudding mix, cinnamon, ginger and cloves and beat about 1 minute or until smooth. Fold in 1 1/2 cups whipped topping.
Spoon 1/4 cup mousse into each of the eight 6 oz. dessert glasses. Spoon 2 tablespoons whipped topping over mousse in each glass. Top with 1/4 cup mousse. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour.
Just before serving, top each shooter with remaining whipped topping and gingersnap crushed cookie crumbs. Enjoy!

Annnnd because this is probably the last pumpkin recipe I’ll be posting since winter is officially approaching, I wanted to take a look back at all my pumpkin dishes over the past season and share my favorites! I didn’t realize how many I actually I made. Obsessed much??
Ok, ok so my pumpkin sugar cookies aren’t really made with actual pumpkin, but they sure resemble little pumpkins! I decided that counts. This was the first year making Fall recipes for my blog and I’ve found some seriously delicious recipes this year. Can’t wait to see what recipes I find to share for this Christmas holiday!
What a fun dessert! I actually have all of those ingredients in my fridge and cupboard already…looks like I know what I’m making for dessert tomorrow night 🙂
i NEED a pumpkin shooter! ooo fun thought, i wonder if alcohol could be added to these..uno for a friday night? haha. they are delicious girl! love the photos too!!
I have some pumpkin cream liquor that I’m sure you could use in place of the milk or do 1/2 milk & 1/2 liquor. It sounds yummy!!! I use the liquor in the fall /cooler temps to make pumpkin martinis…rimmed in graham cracker crumbs. Yummmm.
Girl – you are obsessed with pumpkin! 🙂 I love all of your recipes, but I have to admit that you ended your pumpkin season with a jewel! The shooter looks delicious and I love the fact that it’s low calorie and no cook! Sounds like a great holiday dessert to me.
These look so delicious! Pumpkin mousse sounds so good and I love the layering in the shot glasses, they’re adorable! Great recipe and at only 138 calories, I could have 3 of them 🙂
These look so good! I need to make them! I love your blog and I am following now too! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Love you photos too! Thanks one thing I want to get better at!
Hi! I love your blog! I honestly suck in cooking but I really want to learn and I’ve been starting to cook stuff lately. Your blog is a bog help to me!:) I love your photos as well!
I actually had these (or something just like it) at a thanks dinner party last week and it was soooo delicious. happy to have a recipe for a healthier version. thanks girl!
Yum! I have made something similar in the past and it is such a delicious and fun treat! I’m getting myself back on WW this week, so I might be whipping this up to enjoy and get me through those sweet-needing times 🙂
I’ve made this recipe before and I love it. I have also done the same type of recipe and froze it! Tastes just like pumpkin iceream without all the calories. Thanks for sharing, I think I’ll make some tonight!! I love all the pumpkin stuff!
Oh wow, these look so delicious and fun! And, don’t apologize for more pumpkin recipes, bring ’em on! I love me some pumpkin and enjoy reading these recipes. Thank you!!
These little darlings are absolutely great! Ginger-snaps and pumpkin go so well together and event though the fall is passing, it’s worth hanging on to these for the Christmas table!
Ummm..hello….these look freaking incredible!!! Thank got for Tofuetti Cream cheese tasting the same so that I can still enjoy amazing treats like this!!!!!!!!
Oh I love these and they are so pretty and creative. Anything that comes in a shooter glass, even if non alcoholic, feels good and forbidden. But with 138 calories only no guilt here.
