If you love the colors of the candy corn but hate the flavor, this beautiful Halloween dessert is for you. It’s not creepy or crawly like my other Halloween creations, it’s sweet, delicious, and creamy. This Candy Corn Cheesecake Mousse does not need baking. You can easily make it and in 30 minutes it will be ready.

Save this technique so you can make other kinds of Cheesecake Mousse. Now you know how to make vanilla or chocolate for any other holiday or even a weeknight dessert for the kiddos.

I just LOVE the colors of the Candy Corn. They are so bright and festive. I am so surprised they eat it on Halloween.

To make your Candy Corn Cheesecake Mousse you need the following:

8 oz. package of cream cheese
Powdered sugar
Milk
Vanilla
Cool Whip
Orange and yellow food color
Candy corn for garnish

That’s it! Aside from the candy corn I am sure you already have these ingredients at home. You can use natural food colors if you feel iffy about artificial coloring.

This Cheesecake Mousse is the perfect dessert to make with kids. They will surely have a ball coloring each mousse with the colors of the Candy Corn. They can help you mix and pour.. Perfect for a boring weekend project or a rainy day activity.

Since I have 2 girls, each one chose a color and I chose the white. The boring color according to them. Serve them on a tall shaped glass you have at home. The important thing is that they are clear so you can see the different color layers.

If you still have those ol’ shot glasses from your single days, they would be the perfect container. You can call them Halloween Mousse shooters! I had a few of these little ones and they look so cute.

My next recipe would be to make a Cheesecake Mousse with white, milk, and dark chocolate, they would look so elegant for a fancy dinner.
