Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz Pumpkin Purée
  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 cups Ginger Snap Cookies
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

Method
 

  1. Process the ginger snap cookies in a food processor until they reach the consistency of coarse sand.
  2. Distribute the cookie crumbs evenly into the bottom of six individual dessert glasses.
  3. Press the crumbs down firmly with the back of a spoon to create a stable foundation.
  4. Whisk the heavy whipping cream in a chilled metal bowl until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice gently into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula.
  6. Pipe or spoon the mixture into the prepared glasses, ensuring the top layer is smoothed for a professional appearance.
  7. Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 90 minutes to allow the mousse to set firmly.
  8. Garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or extra crushed ginger snaps immediately before service.

Notes

Ensure the heavy whipping cream is ice cold before whipping to achieve the best volume. If using a high-fat cookie for the base, it helps maintain structural integrity. For a cleaner presentation, use a piping bag to fill the glasses with the mousse mixture.
