The Smaller the Pumpkin The Sweeter the Mousse
If you want to cook with real pumpkin instead of canned, the huge pumpkins may be perfect for carving and decorating, but for cooking the smaller pumpkins are sweeter, with more flesh and less water.

Make It A Parfait
If you love pumpkin mousse, you can make this recipe extra special by turning it into parfait. What goes together better than pumpkin pie and whipped cream?
This seriously simple Pumpkin Mousse Parfait recipe could be just what the doctor ordered.
Take the pumpkin mousse recipe above and some real whipped cream or Cool Whip.. Your choice. Crush up some ginger snaps cookies into crumbly pieces in a Ziplock baggie.
1: Add a layer of pumpkin mousse to a cup.
2: Sprinkle ginger snap crumbles over the layer of pumpkin mousse.
3: Layer whipped cream over the layer of ginger snap.
Rinse and repeat until the parfait glass is filled with the top layer being whipped cream, of course.
Dust with a dash of cinnamon to garnish. Yum!! Enjoy!

Use Pumpkin Puree instead of Pie Filling
For pumpkin pie, pie filling with the added spices and stuff is just perfect, but for other baking, like pumpkin mousse, canned pumpkin purée is what you want. Cans labeled "solid-pack" instead of "pumpkin pie filling" will help make your puree perfect.
Eating your dessert from a really pretty bowl, always makes it seem so much more special. Even if you're eating Jello, a pretty bowl makes it just a little decadent.
I love these spoons! Eating things like mousse, pudding, ice cream, or even yogurt with the smaller spoon makes it seem more special, and the smaller bites make your treat seem to last longer. Plus..they're pretty and sturdy, too.

These little dishes are made of acrylic and meant as disposable partyware, but they're great for serving diet-friendly sized desserts or kid=sized portions, without using glass.
These dishes are small, and perfect for appetizer displays, hors douevres, and other mini dish uses. But if you need one a little bigger, they have one called "Grande". They are washable so you can get multiple uses out of them.
