Description:

Indulge in the velvety goodness of this Pumpkin Mousse with a delightful hint of gingerbread crumbs! Surprisingly, this recipe incorporates tofu seamlessly, offering a creamy texture without compromising on flavor. For a twist, consider swapping pumpkin with cooked squash or sweet potato. Perfect for dessert, especially during Thanksgiving or any occasion that calls for a healthy, low-cholesterol treat!

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (about 12 ounces) soft silken tofu
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup solid-pack pumpkin

For Serving:

  • 8 gingersnaps, crushed into crumbs

Instructions:

  1. Blend Ingredients: Place soft silken tofu, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Purรฉe until smooth.

  2. Incorporate Pumpkin: Add half of the solid-pack pumpkin into the blender and purรฉe again until well combined.

  3. Creamy Mixture: Transfer the blended mixture into a medium-sized bowl. Beat in the remaining solid-pack pumpkin until the mixture achieves a uniformly creamy consistency.

  4. Chill: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen.

  5. Serve: When ready to serve, spoon the chilled pumpkin mousse into decorative bowls. Sprinkle generously with gingersnap crumbs for added texture and flavor.

  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately to ensure the gingersnap crumbs remain crisp and delightful with every spoonful of pumpkin mousse.
