A light, creamy, and low-carb Healthy Pumpkin Mousse packed with fall spices and whipped to perfection for a guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 oz 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup powdered monk fruit sweetener, divided
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • Optional: whipped cream, granola, or crushed cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin puree with ¼ cup sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with the remaining ¼ cup sweetener until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula until fully incorporated.
  4. Divide mousse into small bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Optionally, top with whipped cream and crushed granola or cookies before serving.

Notes

  • Use only 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Don’t overwhip the cream; stop at soft peaks.
  • Folding instead of mixing preserves the mousse’s airy texture.
  • You can substitute sweeteners like stevia, maple syrup, or honey based on dietary preference.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months; thaw in fridge before serving.
