One of the biggest bummers for the Keto crowd during the holidays is feeling left out of all the baked goods and treats that others share at parties and family gatherings. Well, not this year! #ThisGirlLovesToEat
Shape Magazine gathered and shared some recipes that help those living the Keto lifestyle enjoy the flavors of the season without sacrificing their diet goals.
The mousse below takes 10 minutes to make and can even be put into a keto pie crust. If, by some chance, you don’t eat it all in one sitting, this mousse can be stored in air tight containers or in glass cups covered with plastic wrap for 5 days in the fridge.
Keto Pumpkin Mousse
- 8 oz Mascarpone or whole fat cream cheese (room temperature for at least 15 minutes)
- 1/4 cup Swerve Confectioners
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (+additional to whip & top the dessert with)
- Place mascarpone and low-carb sweetener in a deep bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low for 2 minutes.
- Add vanilla, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Beat on low until incorporated.
- Slowly, with the mixer running on low, add the heavy cream. Beat just until incorporated and fluffy, or for 2 minutes. Do not over beat.
