A Spooktacularly Fun and Easy Treat!

1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon (if desired)
1/2 tbs honey (if desired)
1 pinch of allspice
1 pinch of ground clove
Ginger snaps (for garnish)
* Whip remaining heavy cream and vanilla on high until fluffy
* Fold whipped cream into cooled pumpkin mixture
* Serve in chocolate cup or carved out mini-pumpkin with crumbled ginger snaps as a under-crust or sprinkled on top.

* Combine pumpkin pie filling, 1 cup of heavy cream, sugar, and spices in medium sauce pan and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Make sure filling, spices, and cream are completely incorporated into mix before it comes to simmer. Stir gently while simmering (make sure bottom and sides do not burn).
* Remove from heat and cool completely (until between 40-45 degrees)* Whip remaining heavy cream and vanilla on high until fluffy
* Fold whipped cream into cooled pumpkin mixture
* Serve in chocolate cup or carved out mini-pumpkin with crumbled ginger snaps as a under-crust or sprinkled on top.
And yes, what you see above is as close as I'm getting to an HNT. Just call it Ryan's HCS!

Sounds yummy, I definitely plan to make it! I love eating all things pumpkin at this time of year.
LOL! Yeah, all that snow -- in October. Glad it's melted, now. Your pumpkin mousse sounds really delicious. Umm... What is HCS? Half Covered Shot? And why are you wearing gloves? Do you always wear rubbers? Happy Halloween!
