But there is one thing in particular about autumn that we look forward to every year. And that’s pumpkin season!
With so many pumpkin dessert recipes, there’s no need to limit yourself to pie or pumpkin spice lattes. Surprise everyone with this shockingly impressive pumpkin mousse recipe.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 envelope unflavoured gelatin
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
In a small pot, add ¼ cup of cold water, sprinkle gelatin over the top and leave for 2 minutes. Then stir over low heat (do not boil). When gelatin is completely dissolved, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ½ cup sugar. Then add the pumpkin puree, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and milk - mix together.
Set the bowl over the top of simmering water and constantly beat with a whisk until the mixture becomes custard like (about 5 mins).
Add gelatin and pour into a large bowl. Let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Beat the egg whites and slowly add the remaining sugar, beating until it has been fully incorporated. Add half of the whites into the pumpkin mousse. Then gently add the remaining whites.
Beat the cream until it’s stiff and fold into the mousse. Chill until set. (2-24 hours)
