    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

    Me and my mom love pumkin, so this is great!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made this for my mom when my dad was out of town and we loved how it tasted. The ginger snaps you snap onto the top were... okay, but I might have not included that. My mousse was too warm, so I put it in my refrigerator for a while. The ingredients blended very very nicely together. If you like pumpkin you're going to love this! It's fantastic!!!!Read more

    Just "Meh"

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    I love all things pumpkin so I was thrilled to try this. Unfortunately, it was bland and not very exciting at all. I added... more sugar (it needed it) and that helped some, but this still didn't feel like anything special. So far, my favorite pumpkin recipe is still Paula Deen's "Pumpkin Bars" (which are not really bars, but cake).Read more

    Delicious!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made this at home simply because I had a spare can of pumpkin puree in my cupboard. It came out very good, although I will... say, we had it right after I made it and it was a little too "whip creamy" for me, the flavor was just all whip cream and a hint of pumpkin. HOWEVER, after letting it sit overnight in the fridge, I had some the next day and it was MUCH better. The textures and flavors really married after the long sit and the texture had turned from whip cream, into this deliciously creamy, silky smooth mousse. I definitely recommend making this desert the day before you plan to serve it. I Don't think it was bland, but it wasn't pumpkin pie. If you want a desert that tastes like pumpkin pie, then I suggest you make one! But if you would like a new and different pumpkin desert that is creamy and delightful, try this! Next time I might cut back on the whip cream slightly, just because I like a denser texture, but overall it was fantastic. I also, instead of cookies, took a store bought pie crust, brushed it with a TBS of the heavy cream and then dusted with a little bit of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then broke it into pieces. It was a new and different way to eat a "deconstructed" pumpkin pie.Read more

    Was a huge hit!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is a super easy recipe to make and very yummy! I made it for the first time for Thanksgiving and was really easy and my... family loved it! People were going back for seconds after having just eaten a their turkey and sides. Its really light so you don't get that heavy, full feeling. I took the advice of a few other reviewers and added some extra pumpkin spice, cinnamon and a little maple syrup. The flavor was great! This is going to be part of my holidays from here on out!
