Yummy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really liked this but I must say that it could have been a little sweeter maybe just a dash more sugar and pumpkin spice.... All in all still very goodRead more

Turned out great =)
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I found the recipe easy and simple to follow. The only change I did make was that I allowed the mousse to chill for 24 hours... and then I piped it into little puff pastry's and sprinkled fresh nutmeg on top. They turned out fantastic and everyone liked the fact that they came in little hand held bites :)Read more

1 cup vs. 3 cups of cream
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

You use one cup of cream in the mousse part and the other 2 cups of cream in the whip cream part.

Simple and sweet!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This recipe was delicious and sweet, but don't understand why in the "ingredients" it states 3 cups of cream, and then when... preparing you only use "One" cup of cream? So don't know why that's there, but either way I added ginger, a pinch of vanilla and it came out great! Read more

Great Dessert for Thanksgiving
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried the recipe and it was great. I made two minor changes - I added about half of the whipped cream to the pumpkin... mixture and saved the rest as a topping. Also, instead of crumbling the ginger snaps, I finely grated them. This recipe is a keeper! Read more

perfectly simple pumpkin goodness
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe couldn't be easier. Presenting it in a goblet with the ginger snaps makes it look so nice and festive. My... husband said we must have it every day :)Read more
