It's pumpkin everything season! And this keto pumpkin cheesecake mousse will not disappoint. A filling, indulgent protein treat to satisfy your pumpkin cravings. And there's no baking required!
I used this creamy vanilla whey protein powder in this no bake cheesecake mousse. (It is great in baked protein cheesecakes as well!) And I've used these cinnamon egg white protein chips as a crumbled crust and garnish. Delicious, and easy!
This recipe makes 10 small servings, and each is just enough for a protein pumpkin dessert. I've piped them into shot glasses using a ziplock bag (see this video for the method: youtu.be/qNixfIaz3rU). If you don't have shot glasses, you can make individual servings in these little party cups.
And if you like this recipe, you may also enjoy this easy pumpkin protein shake without banana.
Ingredients
- Neufchâtel or cream cheese
- Greek yogurt - I used fat-free but any fat percentage would work
- pumpkin puree - canned works great
- alcohol-free vanilla extract - I prefer alcohol-free extracts in no bake recipes
- creamy vanilla whey protein powder
- stevia
- pumpkin pie spice
- cinnamon protein chips

Equipment
If you'd like to present the mousse as photographed here, you'd want a piping bag (or a freezer ziploc bag, use the corner) to pipe the cheesecake mousse.
Instructions
Start by mixing the Neufchâtel or cream cheese with the Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth.
Add the remaining mousse ingredients and combine until smooth.
To present them as photographed here, crush some cinnamon protein chips and spoon into the bottom of each serving dish. Then pipe in the pumpkin cheesecake mousse, and top each with a whole chip.
Enjoy your indulgent keto pumpkin cheesecake mousse!
Substitutions
Whey/casein blends should work well (like Quest protein powder or PEScience Select) also.
I wouldn't suggest plant-based protein in this recipe, as the plant flavor would likely come through (and be unpleasant in a cheesecake recipe).
Variations
Not into pumpkin? I have a plain keto cheesecake mousse recipe as well.
Have extra sweet potato? That would be delicious in place of the pumpkin here for sweet potato cheesecake mousse.
