Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup half-and-half
1 (29-ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 cups light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 extra-large egg yolks
2 packages (4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
2 ripe banana, finely mashed
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus more for garnish, optional
2 cups cold heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat the half-and-half, pumpkin, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until hot, about 5 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks in another bowl, stir some of the hot pumpkin into the egg yolks to heat them, then pour the egg-pumpkin mixture back into the double boiler and stir well. Heat the mixture over the simmering water for another 4 to 5 minutes, until it begins to thicken, stirring constantly. You don't want the eggs to scramble. Remove from the heat.
  • Dissolve the gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water. Add the dissolved gelatin, banana, and orange zest to the pumpkin mixture and mix well. Set aside to cool.
  • For the decoration: Whip the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk until you have firm peaks. Fold half the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture.
  • Pour the mousse into a 7 by 4-inch souffle dish. Pipe or spoon the remaining whipped cream decoratively on the mousse and sprinkle, if desired, with orange zest. Serve chilled.

PUMPKIN CARAMEL MOUSSE



Pumpkin Caramel Mousse image

This is essentially a great pumpkin pie, with no crust, piped into glasses and topped with hazelnuts. There is whipped cream folded into the mousse, but you could make extra so that you could have some on top, too. It makes for a shockingly impressive dessert.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (125 grams) heavy cream
2 tablespoons (25 grams) brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons (45 grams) water
1 1/2 teaspoons (5 grams) gelatin
Scant 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar for the caramel, plus an additional 3 tablespoons (45 grams) sugar for the meringue
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup (290 grams) plain canned pumpkin (no spices) or puréed roasted winter squash or pumpkin
3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup (30 grams) toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped or crushed

Steps:

  • Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a small bowl.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of the water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Stir, then let it sit while you make the caramel.
  • Find a bowl that is large enough for you to dip the bottom of your saucepan into it; fill it with an inch of ice water and place it on your stove. Place the scant 1/2 cup (125 grams) sugar in a medium saucepan, preferably stainless steel. Add the remaining tablespoon of water and the lemon juice and carefully stir together with a heatproof rubber spatula. Using a wet pastry brush, brush down the sides of the saucepan so that there are no stray sugar crystals that could cause the caramel to seize. Turn the heat on medium-high and heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a light caramel color, 4 to 5 minutes. Do not stir, but from time to time carefully brush down the sides of the pan with the wet brush. Do not let the caramel get hotter than 325 degrees. As soon as it reaches this temperature and is golden brown, remove from the heat and dip the bottom of the saucepan into the bowl of cold water to stop the caramel from heating further. Let sit until the bubbles subside.
  • Using a heatproof spatula, carefully stir the brown sugar mixture into the hot caramel. It may bubble up, so be careful. Add the softened gelatin and stir to dissolve. Whisk in the canned pumpkin and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a mixing bowl and electric beaters). Beat until they begin to foam, and add the cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Beat at medium speed and add the remaining sugar in a slow, steady stream. Beat until the egg whites are stiff and shiny, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
  • Lighten the warm pumpkin mixture by folding in one-third of the beaten egg whites, using a balloon whisk or a large spatula. Pour the remaining egg whites over the top, and carefully fold them into the pumpkin mixture using a rubber spatula. Fold in the whipped cream.
  • It's easiest to do a neat job of filling the glasses if you use a pastry bag fitted with a wide round tip. Pipe or spoon the mousse into 8 glasses; use small tumblers, wine glasses or whiskey glasses. Sprinkle the ground hazelnuts over the top. If desired, make 2 layers of the hazelnuts: Pipe half the amount of the pumpkin mousse you need for each serving into the glasses, then sprinkle on a layer of hazelnuts; then pipe the rest and top with another layer. Cover the glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.

LIGHT PUMPKIN MOUSSE



Light Pumpkin Mousse image

A light, airy alternative to the traditional pumpkin pie. If you do not have crystallized ginger on hand, gingersnap cookie crumbs can be substituted.

Provided by Debra Shapiro

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 6h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 eggs
1 cup milk
¾ cup honey
½ cup water
1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground mace
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Pour the 1/2 cup of water or milk into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it to soften.
  • Separate the eggs, placing the whites in an electric mixer bowl and the yolks in a heat-proof bowl that holds at least 2 cups.
  • Combine the milk, honey and spices in a heavy bottomed saucepan and heat until the honey dissolves and the mixture is steaming hot. Add the softened gelatin with its liquid and stir until it is completely dissolved.
  • Pour most of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then pour this mixture back into the pot and continue heating until it thickens and almost boils. Stir in the pumpkin and keep stirring until there are no big bubbles when you stop stirring for a few seconds. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla.
  • Beat the egg whites until frothy, then start adding the sugar gradually, beating until stiff peaks have formed. Fold a big spatula of the whites into the pumpkin custard, then fold in the remaining egg whites. Turn the mousse into a 6-cup metal mold that has been rinsed with cold water. Chill mousse overnight. To unmold, dip the mold in hot water for about 30 seconds then invert onto a serving platter. Alternatively, spoon the mousse into individual ramekins or wine glasses that have a tablespoon or two of chopped crystallized ginger and/or gingersnap crumbs in the bottom. Serve with whipped cream.

PUMPKIN PIE MOUSSE



Pumpkin Pie Mousse image

Very light-tasting and not-so-sweet pumpkin pie mousse (which to me is a good thing). It's hard not to eat the whole thing by yourself.

Provided by Danielle Walquist Lynch

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup canned pumpkin
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups whipped topping

Steps:

  • Stir pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Fold in whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin purée. Fresh pumpkin purée has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin purée. To make your own pumpkin purée, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and purée it in a food processor or blender.
  • Chill the mousse before serving. This will help it to set and become more firm.
  • Serve the mousse with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. This will add a delicious finishing touch.
  • Make sure your pumpkin purée is smooth before adding it to the mousse. Any lumps will make the mousse grainy.
  • Don't overbeat the mousse. Overbeating will make it tough and rubbery.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin mousse is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and airy, with a rich and creamy pumpkin flavor. It can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Pumpkin mousse is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it.
