How to cook deliciously - Chocolate-Pumpkin Mousse
1. Stage
Pour water into a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over top to soften. Set aside.
2. Stage
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.
3. Stage
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.
4. Stage
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.
5. Stage
Spoon mousse into 8 ramekins and place in the refrigerator until chilled, at least 4 hours.
