Steps:
- Fill a medium pot with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer.
- In a small pot, add ¼ cup of cold water, sprinkle gelatin over the top and let soften for a minute or two. Place on stove and stir over low heat to liquify, being careful not to boil. When gelatin is dissolved, remove from heat and let cool.
- In a medium stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ½ cup sugar.
- Add the pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and milk and beat to blend. Set the bowl over the pot of simmering water on the stove and beat constantly with the whisk (this could be done with a portable electric mixer on a low setting, but it tends to splatter) until the mixture thickens and becomes custardlike, about 5 minutes.
- Pour and scrape the gelatin into the pumpkin mixture. Pour and scrape the mixture into a large mixing bowl and let pumpkin mixture cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- Beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks and slowly add the remaining sugar, beating until the whites are firm and the sugar has been fully incorporated. Beat half of the whites into the pumpkin mousse. Add the remaining whites, folding them in gently.
- Beat the cream until it is stiff and fold it into the mousse. Divide prepared mousse among parfait or wine glasses. Chill until set, at least 2 hours or up to a day.

This mousse is really easy, really fast, and REALLY GOOD! It's a recipe I got from another Weight Watchers member, but I do not hesitate to share it with non-dieters, who also find it very yummy! If you don't want to go totally diet, feel free to substitute regular or lite whipped topping, non-skim milk, etc.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor, use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin. These pumpkins have a sweet,濃厚的, creamy flesh that is perfect for mousse.
- Roast the pumpkin before using it: Roasting the pumpkin will help to concentrate its flavor and make it easier to puree.
- Use a high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate will have a big impact on the flavor of the mousse. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
- Whip the cream until it is stiff: This will help to create a light and airy mousse.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently: This will help to prevent the mousse from deflating.
- Chill the mousse before serving: This will help to set the mousse and make it easier to pipe.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin mousse is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, pumpkin mousse is sure to please everyone at your table.
