PUMPKIN MOUSSE



Pumpkin Mousse image

This light and airy mousse is just the thing when you want the flavor, but not the heft, of pumpkin pie. We think it's an elegant end to a hearty autumn meal - Thanksgiving or otherwise.

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 25m

Yield About 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup cold water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin (a scant tablespoon)
3 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar, divided
1 1/4 cups canned pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt, if desired
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

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.

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.

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 eggs
1 cup milk
¾ cup honey
½ cup milk
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.

Tips for Making the Perfect Pumpkin Mousse:

  • Choose the right pumpkin. Use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using a carving pumpkin, as it is too watery.
  • Roast the pumpkin before pureeing it. Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is a key ingredient in this mousse, so use the best quality chocolate you can find.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This will help to create a light and fluffy mousse.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the mousse.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
