White Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse

1. 1

   Heat chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl in a microwave on high 30 seconds. Stir, then heat 15 seconds more. Repeat until chocolate is melted and smooth.

2. 2

   Mix pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in another medium heatproof bowl. Heat in microwave on high until warm to the touch, about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Add a large spoonful of pumpkin mixture to chocolate and whisk to combine. Add one-third of remaining pumpkin mixture to chocolate and whisk to combine. Repeat two more times until pumpkin mixture is incorporated and smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl-mixture should be cool to the touch; if it's still warm, let sit 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add one-quarter of cream to pumpkin mixture and stir to combine. Gently fold in remaining cream. Serve immediately or chill until ready to use.
