Pumpkin cream velvet mousse recipe
Ingredients
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons of rum
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar, divided
1 cup of Libby’s solid pack pumpkin
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/16 teaspoon ground ginger
2-1/2 cups whipping cream, divided
Directions
In a saucepan, soften the gelatin in the orange juice. Stir over low heat until dissolved. Cool. Stir in the rum.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup of sugar until fluffy. Gradually add cooked gelatin mixture. Stir in pumpkin and spices. Chill until slightly thickened.
Beat 2 cups of whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold into the pumpkin mixture. Pour into a shallow 1-1/2 quart serving bowl. Chill until firm, for several hours or overnight.
Beat remaining whipped cream with 2 tablespoons sugar; pipe into a lattice design over the chilled mousse. Garnish with slivers of crystallized ginger, if desired. Yields 10 to 12 servings.
