This is an amazingly good pumpkin treat for any time! Add some crushed gluten-free ginger snap cookies for added texture, or just eat it as is. Top it with a bit of sweetened whipped cream for an added touch.

Ingredients
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
4 1/2 teaspoons cold water
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water; let stand for 1 minute or until softened. Beat in the egg yolks and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160 degrees and mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a small bowl; beat until cool and thickened, about 3 minutes. Beat in the pumpkin and spices. Refrigerate for about an hour, until it is set.
In a small mixing bowl, beat cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Fold into the pumpkin mixture. Garnish as desired. Enjoy!
