Mousse: In a small bowl, soak gelatin in cold water until softened. Stir in boiling water until gelatin has dissolved; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat pumpkin puree, confectioners sugar and cinnamon until blended.

Whisk gelatin into pumpkin mixture. In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff; fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour into medium-sized glass dish.
