A classic mousse can be fussy to prepare properly, but our easy no-cook method uses a food processor to whip pumpkin, yogurt and cream into a silky-smooth (and foolproof!) treat. Crumbled amaretti cookies add a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Method

In food processor, blend together pumpkin, yogurt, all but 1 tbsp of the sugar, the cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, cloves and nutmeg until smooth; scrape into large bowl. Set aside.

Whip 1 cup of the cream with remaining sugar until stiff peaks form; fold into pumpkin mixture. Spoon into 8 small cups or ramekins; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 2 days.)

Whip remaining cream until stiff peaks form. Spoon over mousse; sprinkle with amaretti crumbs.
