Honey Pumpkin Mousse Recipes

Steps:

• Combine pumpkin, 1 cup cream, sugar and spice in a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Cool fully.
• Whip remaining heavy cream and vanilla to soft peaks and fold into cooled pumpkin mixture. Pour into a serving dish and crumble the ginger snaps over top before serving.

Steps:

• Special equipment: Eight 6-ounce ramekins or 8 mini pumpkins, stems removed and seeds and fleshed scooped out, optional
• In a medium saucepan, whisk to combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, honey, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin spice mix, vanilla, salt and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Place over medium high heat, bring to a boil, then reduce and cook at a simmer for 5 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, transfer to a large bowl, let cool, then cover and transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely.
• Whisk the remaining cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then the fold whipped cream into the chilled pumpkin mixture. Spoon into eight 6-ounce ramekins, or alternatively, use scooped-out small pumpkins, cover and chill until set, about 4 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, top with toffee bits or your favorite candy bar.

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.

Steps:

• In the top of a double boiler, combine egg yolks and honey.
• Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 160°F.
• Transfer mixture to a medium bowl.
• Using electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites until cool and glossy peaks form; set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine egg yolks, pumpkin, flour, spices and salt.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils; remove from heat.
• Gently stir 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into pumpkin mixture; gradually fold remaining egg whites into lightened mixture.
• Spoon mousse into dessert glasses; cover and chill.

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.

Steps:

• Combine pumpkin, 1 cup cream, sugar and spice in a medium saucepan.
• Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Cool fully.
• Whip remaining heavy cream and vanilla to soft peaks and fold into cooled pumpkin mixture.
• Pour into a serving dish and crumble the ginger snaps over top before serving.
