Ingredients
 

For the Pumpkin Pudding

  • 1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 (5.1 oz) pkg JELL-O Vanilla Instant Pudding
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • tsp fresh grated nutmeg
  • pinch kosher sea salt

For the White Chocolate Ganache

For the Napoleons

  • 1 puffed pasty sheet half of a 11 oz box puffed pastry, thawed
  • ½ cup ground pistachios
  • garnish: JET-PUFFED Pumpkin Spice Mallows

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • For the pumpkin pudding, simply whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, pudding, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Chill until ready to use.
  • For the ganache, put the white chocolate in a glass or ceramic bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave, add the coconut oil, and stir until smooth. Let sit until cooled to room temperature.
  • Add the heavy cream and vanilla to a chilled glass bowl. Use an electric mixer to start to beat the cream. Once the cream starts to thicken, add the white chocolate mixture, drizzling in a very thin stream all the while beating the cream to medium-stiff peaks. Chill until ready to use.
  • Unfold the puffed pasty onto a large bake sheet. Using a 4-inch biscuit cutter, cut 9 circles in the dough, discarding the excess. Prick each round all over with a fork. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until golden. Once cool enough to handle, gently use a fork to split each pastry round into a top and bottom.
  • To assemble the napoleon: place a small bit of white chocolate ganache on a plate to anchor the pastry. Place a bottom from a split pastry round on the ganache. Layer pumpkin pudding, then ganache, then a sprinkling of nuts. Top with the top part of the pastry round. Layer more pudding, ganache, and nuts. Garnish with a pumpkin mallow. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
