Pumpkin Mousse Trifle
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 8 store-bought shortbread cookies
- Heat oven to 325u0b0F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread pumpkin seeds evenly on sheet; bake until golden, stirring once, about 25 minutes. In a bowl, mix pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves until smooth. In a second bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; add 1/2 cup sugar and whip until stiff peaks of meringue form. Gently fold pumpkin mixture into meringue until just combined. In a third bowl, combine sour cream and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. In a food processor, pulse cookies into fine crumbs. In each of four 5-ounce glasses, divide and layer half of shortbread crumbs and half of pumpkin mousse; repeat layers. Top each with 1 tablespoon sweetened sour cream and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds; serve immediately.
