Decadent Pumpkin Mousse, the Perfect Comforting Fall Dessert
I have a recipe for Pumpkin Cream which is pretty much pumpkin whipped cream that I used as a stuffing for my chocolate chaffles and that was just divine. This Pumpkin Mousse takes that pumpkin cream recipe and takes it a step further. There are more spices, more cream cheese for a slightly dense and more comforting cream texture and a lot more flavor.
It is absolutely perfect with ginger snap cookies! I’m about to put up the keto version of that so you can have the perfect Thanksgiving dessert to serve up to your loved ones this season.
Enjoy this Pumpkin Mousse as a late night delight with a good book and your most luxurious blanky. It’s that girl.
Decadent Pumpkin Mousse
To make this mousse, you’ll need:
1 pint heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons Lakanto syrup, divided
1 15-ounce can of pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened, cubed
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1/3 cup half & half
This recipe makes 6 servings so try not to eat it all in one go. It does come in at just under 500 calories so take that into your day’s consideration. You can enjoy this without the whipped cream topping to save yourself some calories if desired.
