Tips

Substituting ingredients is a great way to make this dessert accessible to those with dietary restrictions or to accommodate personal preferences. For a vegan version, you can replace the cream cheese in the icing with coconut cream and use a non-dairy milk for the mousse. If you have a nut allergy, swap the candied pecans for toasted pumpkin seeds, or omit the nuts altogether. Lastly, if you're not a fan of gingerbread, you can use a spiced carrot cake or even a chocolate cake as the base. Feel free to get creative and make this dessert your own!
