The warmth from the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves in the pumpkin pie spice truly creates the most amazing flavor.

And the best part about Keto cheesecake mousse is, there's no baking involved and only takes 5 minutes to put together. It's truly the perfect last minute dessert. It's like the perfect little no bake cheesecake in a cup. Simply delicious!

Scrape down the sides and continue mixing.

Add in the heavy cream and mix until well combined.

Do Pumpkins Have Carbs? Is Pumpkin Keto?

Pumpkin is easily incorporated into any low-carb diet. But like with any fruit or vegetable, portion control is important. The good news is most recipes only call for about ½ cup of pumpkin for the entire recipe.

Pumpkin is also very nutritious. On top of being high in vitamins and minerals it’s considerably low in calories. It’s a great source of beta-carotene. To read all about the health benefits of pumpkin, check out this article.

Can You Freeze Low Carb Pumpkin Mousse?

You sure can! The only word of caution about freezing mousse is not to rush thawing it out. Allow it to slowly thaw in the fridge. If you just can't wait for it to thaw, you can always enjoy this as a low carb frozen treat!

Substitutions for this Keto Pumpkin Mousse Recipe

• The pecans are optional but highly recommended.  You could substitute with walnuts if you'd like, but the nuts add such a great contrast in texture!

• For a little extra decadence, you can make Keto candied pecans and crumble on top!

• If you don't have Mascarpone cheese, you can substitute with more full fat cream cheese.  It will still taste amazing and will have the exact same texture and creaminess.  Just be sure to adjust your macros, since cream cheese has slightly more carbs.

• Needing serving suggestions? That's another wonderful thing about serving mousse as a gluten-free dessert. You can serve it in individual dessert cups or pretty martini glasses. Or if you're needing it for a covered dish gathering, serve it family style in a larger bowl. Regardless of how you serve it, it will please a crowd!
• This recipe works well with most any sugar substitute. If you have a preference for something other than Swerve sweetener, it will work just fine. Just be sure and double check the conversion charts on the label.
