High Protein Pumpkin Mousse

This dessert is more than just a healthy treat, it has the option to be high protein and highly nourishing.

Sometimes adding a scoop of protein powder to low carb and keto desserts just gives it that adde nutrition, for even more energy and feelings of fullness, to keep you fuller for longer and satiated pre or post workouts.

For this pumpkin mousse, I added a scoop of Livwell’s plant-based vanilla protein powder. Their protein is clean, organic, raw, plant-based, bioavailable for maximum absorption and digestion, with no heavy metals and a heck of a lot of amino acids to benefit from.

A Healthy Fall Dessert Recipe

Whether you are dreaming of everything pumpkin spice related or just need ideas of what to serve for Thanksgiving dinner, this one is a crowd pleaser.

No one will notice that it’s keto and sugar free, which is a huge win!

You’ll be pleased to know that this recipe checks off many boxes:

  • gluten-free
  • grain-free
  • raw and no-bake
  • sugar free
  • keto-friendly
  • low carb
  • egg free
  • nut free

Is Pumpkin Keto Friendly?

Pumpkin is considered a low carb fruit and a low carb vegetable that can be enjoyed without guilt every single fall. It has a lower amount of sugar and carbs compared to other starchy vegetables. 

The includes the whole pumpkin, in all its entirety.

Use the high fibre pumpkin seeds to roast in the oven (recipe here) for the perfect healthy snack, or to add to smoothies, oatmeals, soups, and more.

When using pumpkin puree for dessert recipes like this, be sure to buy pure pumpkin puree with no sugar added, not the can of pumpkin pie filling.

One cup of of raw pumpkin is only about 7 net carbs. However, 1/2 a cup of canned pumpkin puree has about 6 net carbs.

Choose the raw pumpkin (scraping it out of a real pumpkin) over canned if you have the chance to do so. So as long as you put a dessert together without any added sugar, you don’t have to worry about adding too much to the carb count.

Keto Pumpkin Mousse Ingredients

The easiest and most delicious healthy dessert only involves 6 ingredients — with a bit of cinnamon for topping!

  • cream cheese
  • heavy cream
  • pumpkin puree
  • vanilla or vanilla protein powder (for high protein)
  • stevia (or other sugar free sweetener)
  • pumpkin spice

A 10-Minute Pumpkin Spice Dessert

Pro Tips:

  1. The key to making this as smooth and creamy as possible, you’ll need to wait until your cream cheese is at room temperature or simply warm up slightly to soften. This allows the cream cheese and other ingredients to be mixed smoothly and less likely to leave clumps in the mixture.
  2. While whipping the ingredients together, it can get messy. Use a large mixing bowl and a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
  3. Be patient while mixing. Keep going until perfectly light and fluffy! Low to medium speed will do the job.

How To Serve Pumpkin Mousse

Here’s me, a busy mom running around the kitchen all day long like a chicken with its head cut off. What I’m trying to say is — I don’t have every single fancy baking tool attachment, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t be able to find it. 

And so, I did what moms do best and improvised. I used a ziploc bag, stuffed it with the mixture, cut a corner off and squeezed the mousse into a dessert bowl. I’m sure you can get as fancy as you’d like! 

The real winner is the sprinkled cinnamon on top. Or just add more pumpkin spice to complete the dish. The kids often want to dig in before I even get a chance to!

Can I Double This Keto Pumpkin Dessert?

Absolutely you can! I highly recommend that you do. If it’s not intended for 1-2 servings to be immediately consumed, then yes, go for a huge batch for the whole family to enjoy.

The more the merrier, especially if you’re serving it after Thanksgiving dinner.

How Do I Store Pumpkin Mousse?

No matter how much you end up making, you can enjoy this scrumptious dessert all week long by storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.

My second baby turned 8 and I can’t believe how My second baby turned 8 and I can’t believe how fast time flies. Just yesterday she was running around like Gemma is now, yet she is still so full of life. 💗✨ She is such a great big sister and is always seeing the fun in things, even during all of the chaos. We celebrated with a little getaway for her and her friends right in the middle of January and it was much needed and oh so wonderful to celebrate our sweet Ava, beautiful inside and out 💗

Anyone else have animals for children? 😜 cleani Anyone else have animals for children? 😜 cleaning is daily for me but I make it enjoyable when I use @ecokindcleaning #ad with their multi-surface, glass and bathroom cleaner.

Their refillable bottles can be used over and over again. Simply fill with water and add in their designated tablets. It’s an actual game changer and replaces millions of plastic bottles so you can feel good about making the switch.
