Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse


Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse

The idea here has always been "Flavor First!" If I can't make it taste as good (or better) than the original , then I shouldn't be making it.  This creamy pumpkin cheesecake has flavor but with a light and fluffy texture that is irresistible! It doesn’t hurt that this fabulous dessert is also low in carbs either does it?
Ingredients
16 ounces softened cream cheese
1- 15 ounce can pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 cups heavy cream
pinch salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 cup Splenda Granular or equivalent sweetener of choice 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sugar Free Ginger Snaps
Whipped cream
Instructions

  • In a stand mixer blend cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until whipped and fluffy about 5 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust sweetener to your liking if needed.
  • Crush ginger snaps and put a small amount in the bottom of each serving glass
  • Pipe into serving glasses and top with whipped cream and crumbled ginger snaps if desired.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve


Cook's Notes:
Every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas I hit up Trader Joe's for Pumpkin Pie Spice.  Their's is not only delicious, it is 4 times the size of the little bottles in the grocery and half the price!
