No Sugar Added Pumpkin Mousse with Maple Whipped Cream

Decadent Pumpkin Mousse recipe is so easy to make and topped with homemade maple whipped cream it is a perfect Autumn dessert fancy enough for a formal dinner but weeknight fast to make.

Mousse only sounds fancy. It is actually quick and easy to make. But the result is rich and creamy like heaven on a spoon. Especially if you top it with homemade maple whipped cream. Yes, the extra 5 minutes to whip up the cream is so much better than that spray stuff.

There is no added sugar in either the mousse or the whipped cream. And thanks to pumpkin's high fiber content the result is a low carb/keto friendly dessert, within reason of course.
