HEY FOLKS a new recipe for the holidays:

It's EASY... and delicious!

Pumpkin Mousse
One 15 ounce can Libby's 100% pumpkin
3 cups heavy cream (see note)
3/4 cup Splenda
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Murray Sugar Free Ginger Snaps, for garnish

Combine pumpkin, 1 cup cream, Splenda, and spice in a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and chill. Whip remaining 2 cups heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into chilled pumpkin mixture. Spoon into your prettiest wine glasses and crumble ginger snaps over top just before serving.

Note: This is best with real cream, but if desired, use 1 cup heavy cream cooked with the pumpkin and 3 cups Cool Whip to fold into chilled mixture

I am about 8 weeks out from bypass surgery. Your pumpkin mousse recipe sounds wonderful. Can you share the nutritional information and number of servings? Thanks
