When FamilyFun reader Joan S. came up with this pumpkin mousse recipe in an effort to get her kids to eat squash, she didn't know that the neighborhood kids would be clamoring to try some too. In fact, they went home toting the recipe. This is also a terrific recipe to make in the kitchen with kids--plenty of stirring and measuring to go around.
