• My modifications: I prefer this way because it's a little easier, guests can dictate their own portions, and I've never particularly cared for presentation :) This recipe calls for 4 goblets in which to put the mousse -- I basically ignore that by baking the crunch part in a 9" cake pan lined with foil and skipping the chopping step so that the crunch retains the shape of the pan. once the pan and the crunch have cooled completely and I've discarded the foil, I put the crunch back in the pan and use the crunch as a base "crust" of sorts and just dump all the pumpkin mousse on top, skipping the layering. Then I dollop the whipped cream on top and refrigerate the whole thing. I actually prefer it refrigerated and not frozen, but that's just me.
