How to Make Pumpkin Mousse
- First, you need to hydrate gelatin or make "gelatin mass." In a small bowl or cup, add gelatin and cold water. Mix well and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, add heavy cream #1, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice powder. Over medium heat, bring the cream to a boil, but do not boil.
- Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Add gelatin mass and emulsify with an immersion blender.
- Cool the chocolate mixture to 30 °C- 35 °C.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk cold heavy cream #2 into a "melted ice cream."
- Mix about 1/3 of heavy cream into the chocolate mixture, and then add a second 1/3 of heavy cream.
- Pour all the mixture back into the rest of the heavy cream. Using a spatula, gently mix the pumpkin mousse until all is combined.
- Pour mousse into glass or ramekins. Refrigerate the mousse for a few hours or overnight.
- Before serving pumpkin mousse, decorate it with whipped cream, chopped pecans, and cinnamon sticks.
How to Decorate Pumpkin Mouse
- In the mixing bowl, whisk cold heavy cream into soft peaks.
- Using a spoon or spatula, add whipped cream on top of the pumpkin mousse.
- Dust with pumpkin spice powder and chopped pecans.
- Decorate with a cinnamon stick.
Notes
Pumpkin spice powder can be changed to cinnamon or vanilla.
Make sure you are using pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
