This keto brown sugar pumpkin cheesecake mousse is amazingly delicious and comes together in about 15 minutes. If you don’t tell anyone, they’d never guess how easy this dessert is to make or how low carb it is! You can also make this dessert ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve it.
Let’s talk about our ingredients!
This mousse contains just a few simple but delicious ingredients! We start with cream cheese which is the creamy base for this sweet treat. We then add pumpkin. When buying canned pumpkin, you’ll want to make sure you’re buying plain pumpkin, sometimes labeled as pumpkin puree. Just make sure you’re not using canned pumpkin pie mix as it contains added ingredients and sugar. We then add keto brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice which adds amazing flavor to this mousse. I love the flavor profile of adding both maple and vanilla extract and a touch of salt to this mousse. They add their own flavors and enhance all the other flavors. To complete our mousse, we add heavy whipping cream. This helps to create the perfect airy and light texture for our mousse.
How do I make this keto brown sugar pumpkin cheesecake mousse?
This mousse is incredibly quick and easy to make, but there are a few things you can do to ensure yours turns out perfectly! First, you’ll want to start with softened cream cheese. I like to beat the cream cheese for about a minute before adding any other ingredients to it. Then you’ll add all remaining ingredients, except for the heavy whipping cream. I beat this mixture for 2-3 minutes until it’s creamy and mostly smooth. You may need to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with a spatula a couple of times to help incorporate all the ingredients together. One of the great things about this mousse is that you don’t have to beat the heavy whipping cream separately. You simply add it to the mousse and beat the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes or until it thickens.
How can I serve this keto brown sugar pumpkin cheesecake mousse?
This mousse is perfectly delicious served in a pretty serving bowl or dish as is. If you’d like, you can also sprinkle some ground cinnamon or some fresh grated nutmeg over your mousse. Another wonderful and decadent option is to top this mousse with some homemade keto whipped cream. Making your own keto whipped cream is quite easy and is superior in flavor and texture to anything else. I recommend chilling your mixing bowl and beaters for 15-20 minutes before using. Then, to your chilled bowl, you’ll add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of keto powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. You’ll want to beat your whipped cream until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks mean when you remove the beaters, they form peaks which completely hold their shape. You can also easily double the recipe for keto whipped cream if you’d like!
