Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Chill the cream: Cream whips best when it’s very cold.
- If your cream isn’t cold, chill it in the refrigerator before starting.
- Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer), beat the cream on low speed until it foams and bubbles.
- Gradually increase to medium-high.
- Once slightly thickened, add the powdered sugar, and vanilla.
- Continue beating on high until medium peaks form (the cream should be thick but still softly fall back onto itself).
- Refrigerate until needed.
- Make the pumpkin mousse: In another bowl, beat the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cream cheese, and the brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
- Fold in cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until combined.
- Assemble the parfaits: Set out 6 cups (1440ml) or jars.
- Start with a layer of crushed gingersnaps, followed by pumpkin filling, then a layer of whipped cream.
- Repeat, finishing with whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with extra gingersnaps or a piece of white chocolate.
