Happy Thanksgiving! I was scheduled to go to work today. And, I was a little bummed that I wouldn’t have time to make a traditional Thanksgiving meal for my family.

But, I did some last minute grocery shopping and picked up a turkey breast that I could put in the crockpot before leaving the house. I also picked up some items for side dishes that I could quickly put together for dinner when I got home.

How to make low carb pumpkin mousse

To my surprise, I woke up this morning and found my pager buzzing a message that my support was no longer needed and I did not have to go into work. I just had to be available for on call.

I did make a couple regular desserts for my husband and kids as well as a sugar free cherry cobbler for me. However, I’ve been craving some pumpkin so I decided to whip up a quick pumpkin mousse this morning.

Because it’s such an easy recipe, it didn’t take long to make this low carb dessert. Like most mousse, it’s non-bake and whips up with an electric mixer.

You can easily make this treat from start to finish in less than five minutes. For the sweetener, you can use any low carb sugar replacement that you prefer.

I used Truvia because it’s easy to find in local markets. It’s a sweetener made from stevia and erythritol.

You could use this low carb pumpkin mousse recipe for making a pie as well. Just spread it out into your favorite low carb pie crust.

It would also make a delicious no-bake pumpkin cheesecake pie. I’m going to try that next time as I’m always searching for super easy holiday low carb pie recipes.

    What can be substituted for the cream cheese and whipped cream for non diary? I’ve seen coconut whipping but I haven’t seen anything to use instead of cream cheese. Any suggestions?

      I’ve used Kite Hill almond flour cream cheese style spread and coconut cream.

    Can Knox gelatin be used in same amounts? Will this stay stabilized out side the refrigerator for a while? Looking to make this for a SF dessert choice for a shower TONIGHT lol.

    Reply

    • Lisa MarcAurele

      Knox is a bit stronger so you’ll need a slightly smaller amount.

    Looks wonderful, but It’s hard to log low carb food on apps if the serving size is not added to recipe. Do you know the serving size?

    Reply

    • Lisa

      I divide it into 8 serving dishes which is about a cup each.

    I made this today and I did something wrong. I’ve never worked with gelatin before and when I added the dissolved gelatin to the mixture, it turned into little balls of gelatin. What did I do wrong?

    Reply

    • Lisa

      You have to dissolve the gelatin first in a small amount of hot water or a hot mixture.

      Reply

    • Lisa

      The gelatin needs to be completely dissolved before slowly streaming blending into the mix with the electric mixer on.

    Hi Lisa, This looks delicious. Could you tell me how much 5Tbls of Truvia or 18packets of sweetener would be equal to in terms of sugar? LC sweeteners all seem to run different so I usually like to know how much suger would be in a recipe so I can tell how much sweetener to use. For instance, the liquid I use would be 6 drops equals 1/4 cup of sugar. Thank you, Sue

    • Lisa

      This is about 3/4 cup of sugar. I have updated the recipe to reflect this.
