Pumpkin Mousse

November 6, 2023
Only 2 ingredients and 3 steps get you this easy and yummy dessert.

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

1 (29 to 30-ounce) can (3 cups) pumpkin pie filling
1 1/2 cups (354 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

Optional garnishes:

1/4 cup prepared whipped cream
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
Ground cinnamon, for dusting
1 pinch sea salt flakes

Directions:

  1. Strain the pumpkin pie filling:
    • Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and add the pumpkin pie filling to the strainer. Let the excess liquid drip off for 5 minutes.
    • Once it’s done draining, add the strained pie filling to a clean bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, whip the cream:
    • Add the whipping cream to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Use an electric mixer with beater attachment(s) to whip to stiff peaks. When you remove a beater, the whipped cream should stand at a point without completely falling over. This will take a couple of minutes.
  3. Fold the mousse together:
    •  Add a couple of spoons of the whipped cream into the pumpkin pie filling and gently mix together until combined. This will loosen up the pumpkin mixture a bit.
    • Transfer the pumpkin pie filling to the whipped cream bowl and use a rubber spatula to gently fold them together just until combined. Be gentle to ensure you don’t knock the air out of the whipped cream.
  4.  Chill:
    • Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or one large dish. Place one on top of a kitchen towel spread out on the counter. Tap a few times to dislodge bubbles and help smooth the top. Repeat with the other dishes. If needed, smooth the top(s) with a spoon.
    • Cover and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. If desired, top with more whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon and serve.

Meet The Chef

At nine years old, Ben Gaffney asked if he could work alongside his father, a chef, at Congress Rotisserie in New Haven. The elder Gaffney put the boy to work washing dishes for two years, in the hope that it would discourage his interest in the restaurant business.

But a calling is a calling. Ben Gaffney has spent his life since then pursuing the wonders of food, bringing Middlefield along for the ride as chef at Lyman Orchards since 2017.
