Instructions
- Divide egg whites from egg yolks and put whites in a medium bowl and yolks in a large heatproof bowl. Add ¼ cup sugar to whites and ¼ cup to yolks.
- Place bowl of egg yolks over a double boiler or saucepan filled with boiling water. Cook over boiling water for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly so eggs don't turn into scrambled eggs. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Blend pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and mascarpone cheese until combined well. Add to bowl of yolks and mix well.
- Beat whites until stiff peaks form. Add to pumpkin and egg yolk mixture ¼ cup at a time, folding whites in gently until combined. Repeat until whites are completely incorporated.*
- Whip cream until light and fluffy. Add whip cream to a pastry bag or gallon size ziploc bag with ¼ inch of corner snipped off. Add pumpkin mascarpone mixture to another ziploc bag and snip corner.
- Crumble amaretti cookies into chunks, reserving 6 cookies for garnish. Add ¼ cup cookies to bottom of 6 glasses or serving bowls. Pipe a layer of whip cream over cookies, then about ⅓ cup pumpkin mixture, then another layer of cookies, then another layer of whip cream. Garnish with extra cookie crumbles or whole cookies, a dusting of cocoa powder and fresh herbs for garnish.
Notes
- *If desired, you can substitute the beaten egg whites for 2 to 3 cups of whipped cream. Using whipped cream instead of egg whites will make the homemade pumpkin mousse slightly lighter and fluffier, but it will still taste delicious.
