I tried this pumpkin mousse recipe this weekend, and it was both easy and delicious. Thought I’d share.
Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Ginger snaps, for garnish
Directions
1. Combine pumpkin, 1 cup cream, sugar and spice in a medium saucepan.
2. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Cool fully.
3. Whip remaining heavy cream and vanilla to soft peaks and fold into cooled pumpkin mixture.
4. Pour into a serving dish and crumble the ginger snaps over top before serving.
