Ingredients

• 6 pieces mini pumpkins (for serving)
• 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 cup whipped cream (for garnish)
• 0 as needed candy pumpkins or sprinkles (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Carefully slice the tops off the mini pumpkins and hollow out the insides using a spoon to create serving bowls. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it bloom (absorb the water) for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 4

Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10-15 seconds until it is liquefied. Stir the liquefied gelatin into the pumpkin mixture until evenly blended.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until smooth and airy.

Step 7

Scoop the mousse into the prepared hollowed-out mini pumpkins, dividing evenly among them.

Step 8

Refrigerate the filled pumpkins for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.

Step 9

Before serving, top each pumpkin mousse with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with candy pumpkins or sprinkles, if desired.
