This recipe is unfortunately flawed. Whipping the heavy cream together with the pumpkin, mascarpone, sugar and spices yielded a broken, lumpy filling that couldn’t be smoothed out through any means.
At a minimum the cream should be whipped separately and then the rest of the premixed filling ingredients should be carefully folded in. Even then more emulsifying action might be necessary to smoothly incorporate the pumpkin into the filling—most other recipes seem to use egg yolks.
I cannot recommend following this recipe as written to anyone.

I unfortunately had a bad experience with it as well. I was wondering why the filling mixture wasn't getting fluffy. I think it might have been too high a proportion of pumpkin? I loved the idea of it, just didn't turn out.

I was worried about that. 2 tips: 1) your mascarpone might not have gotten all the way to room temp. 2) I actually started by whipping the mascarpone a little bit at the beginning then added the sugar, and whipped that together, then added the cream in 2 parts. Doing all the ingredients at once makes it hard to hydrate everything properly.

thanks Alix. yes - the cheese must be room temp as the recipe states and the mascarpone should be stirred and broken up a bit either with a spatula, as the recipe states, or with a mixer, as you suggest.

For the record, it’s the day before thanksgiving so I haven’t hard the full dessert but the pumpkin cream is SOOOOO TASTY!

This was a great and even my pumpkin denier family members enjoyed it. Mascarpone hack of sorts - DO NOT COME FOR ME, NOT EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE CARRIES FANCY CHEESE - room temp cream cheese and a tbsp or two of sour cream. It worked beautifully. Thanks for the recipe!
