As far as pumpkin desserts go, I think this was pretty good. The gingersnaps really made it yummy. I wouldn't say this is the best dessert I've ever eaten, but I might make it again if I were trying to use up some leftover pumpkin, OR in the mood for a Fall-ish dessert.

I made this recipe about a year ago and it was very soupy. I guess I did it wrong because it looked nothing like the picture. I'm also have really bad luck with making deserts. However, the flavor was really good, so maybe I'll try this one again. I welcome any suggestions for getting this to set properly. I also have come to accept that it might just be me :)

I followed the recipe for the first two steps, and then let the gelatin/pumpkin mixture set in the fridge overnight. I then plopped the set mixture into my stand mixer to make it smooth again. I substituted a tub of fat-free whipped topping for the heavy cream to lighten it up. It was a classy change from standard pumpkin pie at the Thanksgiving table.

Really tasty and light. I made it a day ahead of serving which caused the cookies on the bottom to go a little soggy, but the flavour is still there. Also whipped up more cream for a topping then added crushed gingersnaps to that. Yum, yum! Will definitely make again, very easy recipe.

This is soooo good! I love pumpkin and this totally hit the spot. It tastes like pumpkin pie filling, but lighter. I took it to a church event in a 2qt dish with crumbled gingersnaps on the side for people to put on top. Everyone wants the recipe now! I followed the recipe exactly and loved it. Definitely making it alot this holiday season!!

Although I am not a mousse fan, I really liked this recipe. I substituted pumpkin pie spice to taste for the list of spices in the recipe as well as prepared whipped topping instead of the whipping cream and vanilla. The recipe is so flexible that the substitutions worked out just fine. I'll definitely be making this again and again.
