Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 c pure pumpkin puree
  • 8 oz container of mascarpone cheese
  • 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
  • crumbled biscoff cookies or graham crackers for topping

Instructions

Note: it helps cream to beat faster if you chill the bowl and beaters first.

  1. Combine pumpkin puree, mascarpone and pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
  2. Sift the powdered sugar into the pumpkin mixture and stir again until smooth.
  3. To a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture. Be sure to be gentle when mixing to maintain light texture but continue to fold until fully incorporated.
  5. Divide into 6-8 serving dishes and chill for 30 minutes.
  6. Beat remaining 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream when ready to serve and top each dish with whipped cream and crumbled cookies.
  7. Enjoy!
