I've been exploring more ways to cook with pumpkin, and I found this delicious recipe for a pumpkin mousse parfait. I will definitely be making this again. Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:Recipe adapted from Ina Garten2 tablespoons spiced rum
1/3 packet unflavoured gelatin powder
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
pinch of salt
1/4 cup cold heavy cream
1/2 cup whipped cream
5 ginger snap cookies, crushed
Directions:1. Place the rum in a heat-proof bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Set aside for 10 minutes for the gelatin to soften.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg yolk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
3. Set the bowl of gelatin over a pan of simmering water and cook until the gelatin is clear. Immediately whisk the hot gelatin mixture into the pumpkin mixture.
4. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
5. Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture.
To assemble, spoon some of the pumpkin mixture into parfait glasses. (I didn't have any parfait glasses so I just used wine glasses.) Add a layer of whipped cream, and then some crushed ginger snap cookies. Repeat, until the last layer is whipped cream, followed by a sprinkle of more crushed ginger snaps. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, garnish with a ginger snap cookie and a cinnamon stick.

looks delicious!
Why am I not eating this now?! Must get cream!
I love pumpkin!!
This looks so good but from the sound of it, the yolk is eaten raw, just mixed in with the other ingredients. I know there are many who eat raw eggs, but I personally can't tell which ones have salmonella on them and which do not.
yummm! :)
mmmMMm yess
