How to Make Delicious Pumpkin Pie Mousse
You’ll need a 15 ounce can of pumpkin Puree (or try our homemade pumpkin puree, you’ll never buy the canned stuff again!) You’ll also need one-half of a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk, the heavy cream, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a few crushed ginger snaps for the garnish. I recommend that you not skip the ginger snaps, even though they’re a garnish, they add a nice texture and pop of flavor that complements this pumpkin pie mousse perfectly!
Combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; bring to a simmer over low heat. Continue simmering for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap; chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours or overnight.
Whip the remaining 2 cups of heavy cream in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside 2/3 cup of the whipped cream to use as a garnish. Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture. Fill dessert glasses or serving dish with the pumpkin mixture. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
To serve: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and some crumbled ginger snaps.
