2. Put them in a blender and add broken crackers along with pumpkin spice blend.
3. Blend it for around 10 seconds until the pecans and crackers are broken into tiny bits (don’t blend too much and avoid  turning it into a nut butter). Transfer it into a bowl.
4. Now, make the cheesecake mousse: Clean the blender. Mix cream cheese, yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla essence – Blend till you get a smooth consistency. Transfer it into a bowl.
5. Now make the pumpkin mousse: In the blender, add pumpkin purée, yogurt, the remaining cream cheese, maple syrup, pumpkin spice blend, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend till you get a smooth mix.
6. Now, take some small cups/small glasses. Transfer ¼ cup of pumpkin mousse into each cup/glass. Top this with 2 tbsp of cheesecake mousse. Add 1 tbsp of the pecan and cracker topping to each of the cups/glasses. You should be able to make 8 cups/glasses.
7. Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve cold. Cover them while refrigerating.
