Pumpkin White Chocolate Mousse Food

PUMPKIN WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Melt 4 ounces white chocolate in medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, fold in pumpkin puree, sugar, and spices. Heat until pumpkin is completed heated through*.
• Put in another bowl to cool 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, whip cream until stiff peaks form.
• Fold in approximately 1/4 the whipped cream, folding in until white is mostly gone. Repeat until all whipped cream has been folded in.
• Remaining 2 ounces of white chocolate can be melted just before serving and drizzled over individual servings.
• Chill for 1 hour or longer.

PUMPKIN WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust, start by toasting the macadamia nuts. Place the nuts on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until slightly golden and fragrant.
• Place the nuts in a food processor and pulse until small crumbs remain. Pour them into a large bowl.
• Add in the graham crumbs, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in the melted butter until all of the mixture is moistened. Press the crust into an 8-inch pie plate and stick it in the refrigerator.
• While the crust is in the fridge, beat the heavy cream in the bowl of your electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Transfer it to another bowl.
• In the electric mixer, beat the pumpkin and cream cheese together until combined. Beat in the sugar and vanilla extract. Beat in the melted white chocolate. Using a spatula, fold the heavy cream into the pumpkin mixture. Fold a few times until combined - I suggest actually folding it in and not straight up stirring.
• Scrape the mixture into the refrigerated pie crust and smooth it out on top. Refrigerate or freeze for 6 hours, or even overnight. If freezing, you may need to let it sit out for 20ish minutes before serving. Before serving, top with white chocolate curls and a sprinkle of cinnamon!
• To make the white chocolate curls, I take a bar of white chocolate and run a vegetable peeled down the edges!
• Note: I like to keep this in the fridge or even the freezer for serving. It is so so good when it's very cold! You can also serve it with whipped cream, or even top it with whipped cream instead of white chocolate. Or do both!

PUMPKIN CHARLOTTE ROYALE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 10-by-15-inch jellyroll pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with a piece of parchment. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with a parchment round.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Add the granulated sugar and eggs to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on high speed until thick, fluffy and lightened in color, about 3 minutes. Beat in the pumpkin puree. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low to incorporate. Scrape down the bowl and beat on medium for 1 full minute.
• Pour about 3/4 cup of the batter into the prepared 8-inch cake pan and spread into an even layer. Scrape the remaining batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread into an even layer. Bake until the cakes spring back when gently touched, 14 to 17 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 2 minutes.
• Loosen the edges of the jelly roll pan cake with a knife. Using a sieve, generously dust a clean kitchen towel larger than the jelly roll pan with confectioners' sugar. Flip the cake onto the towel and peel off the parchment. Starting on a long end, fold the towel over the cake edge and begin to roll the cake up with the towel as tightly as possible without cracking the cake. Leave the cake rolled in the towel to cool completely, about 30 minutes. When the round cake is cool enough to handle, run a knife along the edge and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the cream cheese filling: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and butter in a stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and combined. Add the confectioners' sugar, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla and beat until the ingredients are incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• When the rolled cake is cool, unroll it, leaving it on the kitchen towel. Spread the cream cheese filling over the cake in an even layer. Roll the cake back up tightly, this time keeping the towel on the outside. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• To assemble the charlotte: Line a 2 1/2-quart stainless steel or glass bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of wrap overhanging the outside of the bowl.
• Trim the edges of the cake roll, then slice the roll into 20 rounds, each about 1/2 inch thick. Starting in the center of the plastic wrap-lined bowl, arrange the rolls next to each other tightly. Cut any remaining rolls to fit and fill the top edge of the bowl as best as possible. Trim the cake roll rounds to come 1/2 inch below the edge of the bowl.
• Add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted. Pour the chocolate into the cake-lined bowl and use an offset spatula to spread into an even layer and fill any cracks between the cake roll pieces. Refrigerate while you make the pumpkin mousse filling.
• For the pumpkin mousse filling: Put 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it; stir to moisten and set aside.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the milk thickens to a paste-like consistency and just starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin, return to the heat and cook until the mixture just begins to bubble and sputter, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin. Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally (see Cook's Note).
• When the pumpkin mixture has cooled, add the heavy cream to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on high until the cream begins to thicken. Add the cooled pumpkin mixture, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
• Spoon the whipped cream mixture into the center of the cake-lined bowl, smoothing the top to an even layer. Trim the 8-inch cake to fit on top of the filling. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, invert the charlotte onto a cake stand. Remove the plastic wrap and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve cold.

CHOCOLATE-PUMPKIN MOUSSE

Steps:

• Pour water into a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over top to soften. Set aside.
• Combine milk, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is just starting to boil, 4 to 5 minutes. Add gelatin mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Add chocolate chips and stir until completely melted.
• Whisk egg yolks in a small bowl and pour into the chocolate mixture. Continue to heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and almost boiling. Add pumpkin puree and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until frothy. Gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into the pumpkin custard in 3 batches.
• Spoon mousse into 8 ramekins and place in the refrigerator until chilled, at least 4 hours.

PUMPKIN AND CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TRIFLE

Steps:

• Set the bowl of an electric mixer over a saucepan of shallow simmering water. Add the egg yolks, water, and 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar and whisk constantly until the mixture is frothy, beginning to thicken, and has reached 150°F. Remove from the heat and beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes, until thickened. In another small bowl over the simmering water, melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Divide the egg mixture into two medium bowls. Stir the cooled chocolate into one bowl. Into the other bowl stir the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar. In another bowl, beat the whipping cream and 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar at high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 1/2 cups whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, and 1 1/2 cups into the pumpkin mixture.
• Place a layer of pound cake in the bottom of a trifle dish, large bowl, or individual dishes. Brush with a little bourbon. Spoon a 1-inch layer of pumpkin mousse over the cake. Top with a second layer of cake. Brush with bourbon. Spoon a 1-inch layer of chocolate mousse over this layer of cake. Top with a third layer of cake and again brush with bourbon. Top with the remaining whipped cream and garnish with raspberries or chocolate. Chill overnight.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with a hand mixer until frothy and airy, then mix in the sugar slowly. Beat until lemon-colored and fluffy.
• Heat the cream in a pot over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, then slowly mix in half of the cream with the eggs - being sure to not cook the eggs by pouring too much cream inside before it's mixed.
• Pour the warm creamy egg mixture into the pot with the rest of the cream and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon without dripping off too much.
• Mix in the white chocolate until smooth, then transfer the mix to a bowl and press cling film into the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill completely.
• Once the white chocolate mixture is set, beat the cold cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix, it's safer to undermix than the over mix.
• Carefully fold in the white chocolate mixture into the cream, a little at a time, until folded in completely. Set aside for later use.
