Light and airy mousse flavored with a hint of pumpkin and spices, topped with sweet crunchy cookies.
Whisk together pumpkin, yogurt, all but 1 Tbsp sugar and spices. In another bowl beat cream, slowly adding remaining 1 Tbsp of sugar, until stiff peaks then stir in vanilla.
Fold whipped cream gently into pumpkin mixture, until no streaks remain (reserve some whip cream for topping).
Crumble 8 of the cookies into small-medium sized chunks. To serve, spoon mousse into 8 cups then top with a dollop of whipped cream, some crushed cookies and one whole cookie.
