Alton Brown is THE BOMB! He's my favorite cook on Food Network!

[robertmcdiarmid]

if you fold the whipped cream - your mousse will get a "marbelized" look to it. stirring it in - makes it all the same colour. I topped it with crumbled ginger snaps then a layer of whipped cream. It was tremendous!

May I suggest McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice mix pudding plus one box Jello vanilla pudding mix.

[EqSully]

Can someone suggest a substitute for the instant pumpkin spice mix? I'm finding it difficult to find in this area. Thanks

My guess would be yes to stiff peaks and folding. Not to second guess my culinary hero A.B., but if you got the time, stiff peaks and folding are gonna be good. I'm gonna cry, though-I haven't had pumpkin mousse in ages, and now I have the recipe! Happy happy joy joy!!!!

[kiminokami]

Yeah, I would say the same thing. Usually Alton does fold, and explains that because you spent all that time and effort getting air into the cream, you shouldn't waste it by agitating the air back out. I would want to ask him why he went the stirring route with this one.

[CandyColors193]

Shouldn't you fold in the whipped cream?

[MetaGrave]

Mmm... sounds good... Alto is singlehandedly saving my holiday season, lol.

[demongrunt7]

if you can get his name right

[KBAFourthtime]

That looks nice. But why medium, and not stiff peaks for the whipping cream?

[pulltailbadger]

typically, medium peaks are better for mousses, because it prevents the cream from being overworked (overwhipped) on the last stage of inclusion. you could still fold it in as suggested to work it as little as possible, but I don't know that it's necessary.
