They say gingersnaps add crunch to this creamy, smooth mousse and I think my DGSs are going to love it. Timing does not include cooling time.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
4 1/2 teaspoons cold water
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
18 gingersnap cookies, divided
Directions:
1. In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand for 1 minute or until softened.
2. Beat in egg yolks and sugar.
3. Cook and stir over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160 and mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.
4. Transfer to small bowl; beat until cool and thickened, about 3 minutes.
5. Beat in pumpkin and spices.
6. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
7. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Fold into pumpkin mixture.
8. Coursely crumble 12 gingersnaps; sprinkle into six parfait or dessert dishes.
9. Spoon or pipe mousse over the top.
10. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
11. Just before serving, garnish with remaining gingersnaps.
