Pumpkin Mousse
Pumpkin Mousse is creamy, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth perfection and it is my family's favorite pumpkin dessert.
Servings: 8 -12 servings, depending on size
Ingredients
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin 2 1/2 teaspoons
- ¼ cup dark rum
- 16 ounces can unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the rum in a small heatproof cup. Let it soften for a few minutes. While the gelatin softens, combine the remaining ingredients except for the cream, in a large mixing bowl.
- Set the cup of softened gelatin in a pan of gently simmering water and stir the gelatin until it has dissolved. While the gelatin is still hot, whisk it into the pumpkin mixture.
- Whip the cream to soft peaks and carefully but thoroughly fold it into the pumpkin mixture. Fill (8) 6 ounce ramekins or a large glass bowl. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
