What I am about to share with you is no ‘ordinary’ pumpkin mousse….It is a rich, creamy, divine mousse that tastes almost identical to a creamy cheesecake filling, and here’s the secret~ it’s packed with protein and fiber and very low in sugar and calories! This pumpkin mousse is so rich and creamy, it tastes just like a piece of cheesecake without the crust! Although, if you add a little cookie crumble on top…You pretty much have yourself a piece of ‘upside down’ cheesecake!
I enjoy this pumpkin mousse so much in fact, that I have it all year round! It makes the perfect snack when i’m craving something sweet, but need something rich in protein…But it’s so tasty, that it also makes a wonderful dessert!

mmm so cute! I love mini desserts and single serving thing like this. I don’t need a whole cheesecake laying around my house lol!

MMM, Sounds tasty! DO you use pudding mix (powder) or already made pudding?
Sara said:
Is the SF pudding the dry mix or the pudding cups?

1/2 cup of pumpkin. Is that pumpkin puree or actual pumpkin?

This looks so delicious! Do you have a carb/protein/fat content count for this?

Has anyone used the greek yogurt? Also, any idea how many teaspoons are in 6 packets of Stevia? Artificial sweetener makes my stomach hurt. I found a website that says it’s 2 teaspoons, but that seemed like more than I thought.

use as much sugar to taste, you cant go wrong adding more or less…and the greek yogurt works, but the cottage cheese is wayyy better! :)

Love the flavor ! Been playing with different versions. Your recipes are so versatile they stimulate the creative ideas.
Today made a “Frozen Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake”
Doubled the recipe and added 4 T dark cocoa powder and an extra 1/2 cup almond milk. Poured into 9 inch pie dish and threw it in the freezer. Tasty cool summer treat. Just 450 calories for the whole thing. 8 slices less than 60 calories per slice.
Now I’m thinking sub strawberries for the pumpkin? Frozen chocolate strawberry pie? Or raspberries?

I made this a few nights ago it was very good!! It did however have an odd after taste, I was thinking that could be from the brand of stevia I used. Can you recommend a good brand of Stevia to use?
Dashing Dish said:
i’m pretty sure it was :)
i like Nu Stevia! I buy mine on amazon the link to it is found in this blog post!: http://dashingdish.com/dashing-dish-favorite-things-giveaway/
