Spices and Flavoring:
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Thickening Agents:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Whisk cornstarch into cold water until a silky, lump-free liquid forms, creating a seamless thickening agent for the dessert.
- Place pumpkin puree in a medium saucepan, heating over medium-low temperature to prevent scorching.
- Incorporate maple syrup into the warming pumpkin, stirring consistently to develop a rich, harmonious blend.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon and nutmeg into the mixture, allowing the spices to infuse their warm, aromatic essence.
- Gradually pour the prepared cornstarch slurry into the simmering pumpkin base, continuously whisking to prevent clumping.
- Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and transforms into a smooth, glossy texture.
- Remove from heat and fold in heavy cream, creating a luxurious, velvety consistency.
- Transfer the pumpkin maple whip to a serving bowl, allowing it to cool and set for approximately 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to enhance flavor and achieve a perfectly set dessert.
- Before serving, garnish with a light dusting of additional cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Prevent lumps by thoroughly whisking cornstarch and water until completely blended, ensuring a silky smooth consistency for your recipe.
- Use ice-cold water when mixing cornstarch to help prevent clumping and create a more uniform thickening agent.
- Choose organic cornstarch for a cleaner, non-GMO thickening option that works equally well in this delicate pumpkin maple whip.
- For gluten-sensitive individuals, confirm your cornstarch is certified gluten-free, as some brands might have cross-contamination risks.
