Cool off with the Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse at the 2025 Epcot Food & Wine Festival – pumpkin perfection in every bite, well mostly.
The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is an annual event at Walt Disney World. Guests can savor their way through dozens of “Global Marketplaces,” which are special kiosks featuring small plates and beverages inspired by cuisines from around the world. The festival also features the “Eat to the Beat” concert series, which showcases popular musical artists, as well as family-friendly activities such as scavenger hunts and unique merchandise. It’s a popular culinary and cultural celebration for guests of all ages.
What Is Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse?
The 2025 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival offers guests a variety of high-quality sweet treats. For example, over at Swirled Showcase, guests can enjoy the Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse. This cost $5.50. It consists of “Philadelphia Cream Cheese with candied pecans and maple-caramel sauce,” according to the official menu description. Guests looking to purchase this festival food item should anticipate a busy queue on warm-weather weekend days.
This global marketplace has offered several liquid nitrogen desserts in the past. While we enjoy watching these be made and appreciate the creativity, those super-cold desserts have not looked or tasted great in the past. While they make fabulous videos for Walt Disney World to post online, the execution remained flawed with them. At best, in previous years, the “nitro” desserts at Swirled Showcase during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival earned mixed reviews.
Nonetheless, most guests will find the Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse at this year’s event to be a step up. The combination of the liquid nitrogen and pumpkin flavors works very well. Some people in our group have ordered this numerous times. They enjoyed it very much each time.
The most impressive part of this sweet festival treat involves the level of nitro used. Each time we ordered it, the mousse has avoided melting in the Florida heat. We still possess some painful and messy memories of other treats from Swirled Showcase at Epcot festivals melting literally before our eyes and all over us.
Taste and Texture Review
This Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse shows off the cream cheese flavor. Although the mousse can be a bit firm in places after being frozen with liquid nitrogen, it offers a creamier interior. Some members of our group thought this was the best treat to come out of the Swirled Showcase Global Marketplace. The candied pecans and maple-caramel sauce function as the final touch with this nitro dessert.
Price and Value
While we might disagree a little with that high praise, the Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse makes an excellent choice for Epcot guests wanting a sweet treat to cool them down. Fans of pumpkin pie or pumpkin-flavored pudding should make the Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse a priority for their Epcot Food & Wine Festival day. For most guests, the Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse is worth your time and money.
