How to Make Frozen Pumpkin Mousse With Walnut Toffee Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Make the walnut toffee crunch: In a bowl, combine walnuts, brown sugar, melted butter, and corn syrup. Mix well and spread on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely and then roughly chop.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or a larger freezer-safe container.
  8. Sprinkle the chopped walnut toffee crunch evenly over the top.
  9. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  10. Let the mousse sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving to slightly soften.
