[NO-BAKE] PUMPKIN MOUSSE PIE WITH ORIGINAL OREO™ CRUST & WITHOUT CREAM CHEESE 23 SEPTEMBER 2023
Two caveats as you follow this webpage: 1) I made the pie AND this page without glasses, as I had lens replacement surgery on both eyes on 5 &15 September; I cannot get a new eyeglass prescription until the end of October, so I have no spatial discernment; and 2) this recipe is originally meant to be used for mousse cups. The [NO-BAKE] [NO-BAKE] PUMPKIN MOUSSE PIE I made in February 2023 was good, but I wanted to try one without cream cheese. In honor of the First Day of Autumn, I made the First Pumpkin Pie of Autumn . . . . . . including the Pumpkin Pie Spice itself. Mixing station . . . My original intent was a ginger snap crust, but they were spoilt, so I settled on an original OREO™ pie crust instead. Making superfine sugar . . . Pumpkin, sugar, salt & cream in saucepan . . . Be very careful to continuously stir this mixture, as it WILL become Old Faithful all over your stove, face, shirt & camera . . . I speak from experience. I transferred the mixture to a glass bowl to cool . . . . . . I recommend using the largest bowl you have, both for faster cooling and for easier mixing; I had to transfer everything to a larger bowl to mix in the whipping cream. While waiting for the pumpkin mixture to cool, I made the crust, whipped the cream, did two loads of laundry, washed all the equipment I'd used so far; downloaded the pics from my camera, and began this webpage. THAT's how long it took to cool completely. Processing station . . . Refrigerate while making the filling . . . Whisking the whipping cream . . . . . . making sure this time that centrifugal force doesn't spray whipped cream all over the counter, the wall, the floor, the dog. You can see how there is too much whipped cream to add to the mixture in this bowl . . . Mixing pumpkin & whipped cream together in a much larger bowl . . . . . . and grand finale, with candy corn decorations . . . . . . slightly off-center, thanks to my now-uncorrected eyesight.
