What Goes into This Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse
To make this luscious mousse, gather the following ingredients:
- 16 ounces (450 g) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 15 ounces (425 g) canned pumpkin (ensure it’s not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or use a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves)
- 1-2 teaspoons Pumpkin Spice liquid stevia (or Vanilla Stevia to taste)

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious mousse:
-
In your KitchenAid or stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, stevia, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
-
In a separate bowl, pour the cold heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This will add an airy lightness to your mousse.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to keep it light and fluffy.
-
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you prefer it a bit sweeter, add more stevia to suit your preference.
-
Next, pipe the mousse into serving glasses or small mason jars. This not only presents it beautifully but also makes portion control easier!
-
For the best texture and flavor, chill your mousse for about an hour. However, you can also enjoy it immediately if you’re short on time!
-
Once ready to serve, you can top it with cacao nibs or a sprinkle of brown sugar substitute for an added crunch and flavor boost.
