Pumpkin Mousse Napoleon With Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients
1 sheet prepared puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, divided
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup heavy cream, divided
1 cup prepared high quality chocolate sauce
Preparation
1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place puff pastry on lightly floured work surface and cut on folded seams into 3 strips. Cut again into 3 strips crosswise, forming 9 squares. It is important when cutting not to drag the knife through the puff pastry. Instead push down on the knife to cut the pastry. This will lead to a flakier, higher puff.
3. Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice, and divide in half. Lightly brush puff pastry with water and sprinkle with half of sugar mixture. Place puff rectangles on prepared sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking rack.
5. Make pumpkin mousse: Place pumpkin puree in bowl and whisk lightly. Place 1 cup of heavy cream in bowl of heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat on high until it starts to thicken. Gradually add remaining sugar mixture. Using whisk attachment, gently fold cream into pumpkin.
6. Assemble Napoleons: Slice puff squares in half crosswise. Dust tops with confectioners' sugar. Place dollop of pumpkin mousse in center of bottom, spreading gently. Place top on. Serve each on dessert plate with swirl of chocolate sauce around the plate. Serve immediately.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
