Pumpkin Mousse and Spice Cake Parfait

Pumpkin Mousse & Spice Cake Parfait

That's right I know this recipe is a Thanksgiving recipe and yes it is the day After Thanksgiving.  Are you aware that today is Parfait day?? Well , it is so we decided to share this with you today. 

Pumpkin inspired recipes are perfect for Autumn. That seems a bit unfair when pumpkin recipes are delicious at other times as well. After all, chocolate is not only for Valentine's day so why should pumpkin only be seasonal. 

Canned pumpkin is used in this recipe and many other pumpkin dessert recipes as well. Pumpkin is available in the can year round. Many that bake also agree that canned pumpkin is much tastier as well, has a nice consistent texture and is easier to work with. 

 

Pumpkin Mousse & Spice Cake Parfait

makes 6-8 single serving parfaits, depending on your glass size

printable version

For the pumpkin mousse:
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin powder
1 (15 ounce.) canned pumpkin
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups well-chilled heavy cream

For the spice cake:
4 tbsp. (2 ounces or 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for buttering the pan
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cake flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

For the brandy syrup:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brandy or cognac (I used Cointreau which went beautifully with the pumpkin)

For the toasted pecans:
½ cup pecan pieces (I used slivered almonds since I wasn't able to find pecans.  They were just 'ok' would definitely recommend using pecans though)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the topping: (I topped with fresh, whipped cream.  However you can also top with ice cream, your preference)

whipped cream:
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

OR

1 pint caramel ice cream

Directions

To prepare the mousse, put 1/4 cup cold water in a small heat-proof bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the water.  Be sure to actually sprinkle the gelatin and not just dump it in to avoid clumps. Set aside for 10 minutes for the gelatin to soften. 

 

Meanwhile, set the bowl of softened gelatin over a pan of simmering water and cook until the gelatin is clear.

Immediately whisk the hot gelatin mixture into the pumpkin mixture.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin/gelatin mixture. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.

To prepare the spice cake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and then line bottom of 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang at each end. Grease the paper with butter.  I use a plastic baggie as a glove to make things easy.

Line a fine mesh sieve with cheesecloth (I used a coffee filter, also works great). In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1/4 cup butter. Do not stir, but watch carefully. Eventually, solids will drop to bottom of pan. When they are dark brown, remove butter from heat.  

 

Strain through cheesecloth (or coffee filter) into a medium bowl. 

 

*If you're using a coffee filter you might notice the butter will s l o w l y make its way through the filter, this is normal. I gave the filter a gentle twist once it was almost empty to push the last of the butter through. 

 

 

Set aside and let cool until lukewarm.

In the metal bowl of a standing mixer, whisk together eggs and sugar to combine. Set bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and whisk constantly until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm to touch, about 3 minutes.

Return bowl to mixer base. Using whisk attachment, beat at high speed until mixture has tripled in volume and has consistency of softly whipped cream (about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on mixer).

While eggs are being beaten, sift cake flour, salt and spices into a bowl.

 

Whisk to combine, and set aside.

 

 

When eggs have tripled in volume, turn off mixer and remove bowl from stand. Sift one third of flour mixture over eggs and use a rubber spatula to fold in gently.

 

 

Sift and fold in remaining flour in two more additions. Stir 1 cup of batter into browned butter.  Quickly fold butter mixture into remaining batter until just combined.

Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly with a rubber spatula.

Bake in middle of oven until top is browned and cake shrinks away from sides of pan, about 12 to 15 minutes. Invert onto rack, peel off parchment and cool. 

To make the brandy syrup, in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stir sugar with ¼ cup water until sugar has dissolved. Add brandy. Let cool and refrigerate, covered.

To prepare pecans, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter.

Add pecans and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 3 minutes.

To prepare the whipped cream topping (skip this step if you will top them with the caramel ice cream) pour whipped cream into a well-chilled metal bowl of a stand-up mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment.  Whisk on the highest speed until soft peaks form.  Turn off mixer, add sugar and vanilla.  Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

To serve, trim 1/8 inch from around edges of cake. Cut cake into 16 squares. Put 1/4 cup mousse in bottom of each of 8 glasses and spread slightly. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon pecans over mousse and add a square of cake. Brush cake with brandy syrup. 

Repeat one more layer as before; mousse, pecans, cake, brush with brandy. Repeat for remaining glasses.  Top with either caramel ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

Enjoy!

Black Friday did you go

Did you go?? Where you may ask?? Anywhere that black Friday deals can be found. I have went in the past but this year because I had to work I did not go to the stores but rather tried online. I got a few good deals was not as exciting but all in all I did find some great deals. If I am able to and choose to attend the Black Friday sales at the stores next year there are a few things that I will try to do and not do

First, have a plan of how much you will spend and just because the crowds will be full and the temptation is for real you can do it. You can stick to your plan of what to buy and mind you budget as well. Spending too much and going in debt because of this one shopping day is not worth it. I have heard stories of others paying off the debt over the next year.

Last year I had an issue with an employee and one of the sales. She was delibertly trying to tell me that I could not get what I wanted and was trying to limit the amount, There was no limit and I knew it so I went to ask the manager who quickly fixed this issue. While workers are understandably under stress and may not have the time to do all they normally do on most days stand up for yourself and if you have questions ask those in charge. NO need for debates or stress

While the shopping night may be a bit crazy and the crowds terrible you should still be respectful. Talk and say hi, the night will be more pleasant for you as well as those around you.

Remember to have fun, its a great day to find awesome deals. Such a great day to enjoy yourself and share with those you love and shopping for all those on your list

Happy Thanksgiving

From our Family to yours may you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. It does not matter where you are or what day it is for you we all have something to be thankful for

Candle Safety Tips

Candles are lit and offer a special atmosphere to the holidays. They also add a bit of danger as well. While the light from the candles is beautiful it is still a flame of fire that care must be taken with. The low glow offers the season a bit of quiet peaceful spirit and if we are careful it will be just that. I do remember a time though when a family in our community was devastated when the holiday candles inside their house was lit and left alone and a pet of theirs locked the candle over. The candle caught the curtain and carpet on fire and spread from there. With no one at home the house burned to the ground and it was horrific. A house fire is terrible any time but when that fire takes place during the holidays it is even worst.  

To ensure that something like this does not happen to you take care and follow these steps:

• Make sure that all matches and lighters are put in a safe place so that little hands will not be tempted. Statistics show that over 1/2 of all fires are started by children who have been playing with matches or lighters
• Candles that are lit should be out of reach of children and pets. In addition, keep candles at least one foot away from the Christmas tree, curtains, wreaths, and any holiday decor. Many holiday decorations are flammable and will quickly burn 
• .Never leave a lit candle unattended. 
• There are lots of lovely candle holders. Ensure that the candle holders you choose are sturdy and will not tip over easily. Candle holders should also be made from nonflammable material. Some of my favorite candle holders are the vintage glass candle holders that were solid a bit heavy and were simply to me beautiful. 
• If the worst should happen and your house should catch on fire the best thing to do would be to make sure all smoke alarms are working and your children know what to do 

Banana Pudding

• 
  
• 
  
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 cups milk
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 bananas - ripe but not too ripe, sliced
• 1 box vanilla wafers

Add the egg yolks, milk, sugar, corn starch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk mixture just enough to combine ingredients thoroughly. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to boil or until thick. Stir constantly to prevent it from burning on the bottom.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla until well blended.
Add the sliced bananas and stir until evenly distributed.
In medium/large round glass dish, place a layer of vanilla wafers.
Pour the pudding over the wafers and smooth out evenly.
Garnish top with additional vanilla wafers.

Have a Grateful Heart

Having a Grateful heart is not always easy. It is something that at times takes work at reminding ourselves to be thankful for all we have. We do not always take time to look around at all that we have in our lives that we should be thankful for. In our fast paced world where things change from one moment to the next life happens fast. When illness, job loss or issues with our children enter our worlds suddenly our world seems to slow down. For a time we realize all that we have to be thankful for and look above to our Heavenly Father. We realize that while there are those that are some better off than we are there are also many that may not have what we do. I do not want it to take something happening in life to leave me feeling grateful. 

Things that I feel grateful for are my families. Yes I said families, the one I was born into, the family that me and my husband has molded and the family at work. Each of these families offer me hope, and love.

Grateful for my friends. I have many friends from my early childhood days that I get to talk to quite often and I am grateful that our friendship has lasted that long. I am grateful for friends that I have met through work that share the same heart as myself to care for others. I am also grateful for all those that believe as I do, that pray for me and my family.

Grateful for my home, while it is not as well off as others it is mine. It is a house that along with my husband we own and that we love enough to fix it. With patches and love our home will be here to be a roof over our heads, my childrens head, my grandkids and anyone who needs a place to stay.

Grateful for living daily life that I am able to look around and see all that there is to be thankful for. From the food that we eat, to the chair that we sit in there is so much to be thankful for. I am thankful that I have had a job and that my employer cares about me, my family and those that we care for 

Most of all I am grateful for God, his love and compassion for us all. I am grateful for the word that he provided to us through the bible. I am grateful for the freedom to attend the church of my choice. I am grateful that no matter my past my God knows me all about me and still loves me and calls me his own.

So here at this time of Thanksgiving I suggest to you why not look in your life and see what all you have to be thankful for. Perhaps you may want to make a list, keep that list for a while add to the list as you travel through life.

Keep the Bathroom Clean Chemical Free

We have many in our family that are allergic to nearly everything. Scents, chemical and lots of different things that touch their skin. Borax seems to work in our house when cleaning. So as of late we have been using a combination of borax, baking soda, vinegar and lemon juice to clean our bathroom and kitchen. These are all common items found in the home and no harmful chemicals are present. 

Cleaning the sink is easy using a sponge, a sprinkle of borax and a good scrub. Rinse the sponge and sink out. Dry the sink with an old dish towel to make it look shiny. Now repeat this process with your shower and tub. 

The toilet is easy to clean using a bit of Borax and scrub with a toilet brush. Borax will help cut the stains in the toilet as well as leave it clean and bright. Add a bit of vinegar and or lemon juice to get rid of the soap scum. 

Chemical free is always better for the family and our allergies.

Wacky Cake

Wacky Cake serves 8-10

Sift together:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar (I use 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda

2 cups water
3/4 cup oil
2 tsp. vinegar
2 tsp. vanilla

Stir with a whisk. Pour into 9x13 ungreased pan. Bake 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

**Sifting gives the cake a better consistency. I don't have a sifter so I use a mesh strainer over the bowl. Also, I use a glass 9x13 pan. Before serving, I dust each piece with powdered sugar. This cake makes a great snack cake. It's divine served with vanilla ice-cream and homemade fudge sauce. Yum. Yum. Yum.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

A Christmas tradition of ours is to enjoy cinnamon rolls. Well, after finding these yummy pumpkin cinnamon rolls we may just have a new tradition for Thanksgiving. 

Dough:
1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees, not too hot)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm milk
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup canned pumpkin 
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups (approximately) all-purpose flour
1 1 /4 cup whole wheat flour
1/8 cup sugar
1/8 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves 

Filling:
3/4-1 stick butter (depending on how much you want)
5 T sugar
1 T brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/4 t cloves 

Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 stick (4 ounces) butter, softened
3/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar


In a large bowl, stir the yeast into the warm water to soften. Make sure the yeast dissolves. Add milk, egg, pumpkin, butter, sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves to the mixture. After stirring, add 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour gradually. Stir for 1-2 minutes. 

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until the dough is stiff enough to knead. Start with about 1 1/2 cups and increase if necessary. Place the dough onto a floured surface. Knead, adding flour as necessary, until you have a smooth, elastic dough. (I didn't need to use the full 2 cups).

Put the dough into a greased bowl. Flip it over to cover the entire ball of dough with oil. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for about an hour. The dough should double in size. (I had to let mine rise for longer than an hour). 

Combine the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a small bowl and set aside.

Transfer the risen dough to a lightly greased work surface (counter top or table is best) and roll it into a 16" x 12" rectangle (you don't have to be too precise about size).



Spread softened butter over the dough and then sprinkle with the sugar mixture.

Roll the dough into a log the long way and slice into rolls using a sharp knife. It helps if you rinse the knife in warm water in between slices. Place the slices in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan (or in two 8 or 9 inch round cake or pie pans). Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for about 45 minutes (they should be almost doubled in size).


Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F until they're brown around the edges and beginning to turn golden brown across the center (about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the rolls).

While rolls bake, you can prepare the cream cheese frosting. Place the cream cheese and butter in a medium-sized bowl and warm in the microwave so they are soft. Add the vanilla and lemon juice and cream with a mixer. Add the powdered sugar gradually and blend until the frosting is at a desired consistency.

Once the rolls our done, take them out of the oven. While they're still warm, frost them with the cream cheese frosting. Serve while warm. 

It's Just Not Heartburn

Indigestion from time to time is common and many people suffer from it. When indegestion occurs more often it could indicate a condition that is more serious. Gastro-Esophageal Disease or Gerd as it is commonly referred to is a serious condition that affects 20% Americans.

GERD is a digestive disorder. The stomach acids from digesting food and fluids flow back into the esophagus. My son had GERD at a very young age and my brother did not have Gerd til he was an adult. The issue may last for long period of times or be temporary. If GERD is left untreated it can cause health problems such as inflammation of the esophagus, risk of esophageal cancer or lead to respiratory problems such as asthma, fluid in lungs, chest congestion, wheezing or pneumonia.

The most common symptom of Gerd is heartburn but it is not always present. Bad breath, coughing, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting are all symptoms as well. Many with Gerd will have difficulty swallowing and erosion of teeth may happen after time. 

Gerd may be diagnosed by symptoms and medical history. This may not always be the case as further testing may be necessary. A gastroenterologist will perform the test, x-ray for difficult breathing and lung infections. An upper GI xray exam of the digestive organs may be done as well. 

Medicine may be prescribed if you have tried everything and nothing works. If you smoke stopping may help GERD, losing weight is another thing that often helps. Looser fitting clothes helps as well. Sitting up a few hours after eating may help as well. Sleeping with the head of the bed elevated. Be aware of what foods and ingredients may worsen GERD symptoms. Try to avoid mint, chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, acidic foods and spicy foods, these foods often trigger GERD The time you eat and the amount of food you eat can also make a difference in how you feel. Smaller meals through the day will help prevent flare ups of GERD

Preventing GERD will take lifestyle changes. Keep a log what and when you eat and drink will help you find out what happens. Symptoms seem to flare up and review your log over time to I.D. patterns. Doctors and dietitians can help create a plan to prevent and treat Gerd. .
