What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons Dark Rum
  • 1 teaspoon Powdered Gelatin
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • Pinch Ground Cloves
  • Pinch Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Directions
  1. In a heat proof bowl sprinkle the gelatin over the rum. Let stand for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, incorporating by hand to ensure the sugar is free of lumps.
  3. Mix the pumpkin puree and egg yolks together. Whisk in dry ingredients.
  4. Heat rum and gelatin over a water bath until gelatin is dissolved.
  5. Meanwhile, whisk heavy cream and vanilla in the bowl of a Kitchen Aid stand mixer until soft peaks are formed.
  6. Whisk rum mixture into pumpkin puree.
  7. Carefully fold whipped cream into pumpkin with a whisk, do not over mix or mousse will begin to deflate.
  8. Scoop with an ice cream scoop into serving glasses and garnish accordingly with toffee bits, whipped cream or white chocolate curls.
