Ahh, fall. The season when pumpkins go from humble gourds to the centerpiece of so many themed dishes, drinks  and desserts. The most obvious example is pumpkin pie, or perhaps the beloved pumpkin spiced latte.

As much as I do love pumpkin pie, there are loads of other fabulous desserts that fall into this category. Take this pumpkin-based take on a traditional mousse. It’s a silky, sumptuous treat that really captures the tastes of the season. It’s like fall in a glass!

Another thing I love about this Pumpkin Mousse? There’s no baking required! Just pull out your mixer and in a matter of minutes you can spoon that rich, creamy goodness into your choice of serving dishes, and enjoy. Layer with crushed graham crackers or ginger snaps for an amazing dessert that just might become your new pumpkin-flavored obsession!

Like so many of my favorite dessert recipes, the original version calls for sugar, but I try to cut calories and sugar whenever possible. So for my Pumpkin Mousse recipe, I use Truvia® instead.

That’s because Truvia® cracked the code for how to create a sweetener that measures cup-for-cup like sugar and bakes and browns in recipes… but with zero calories. That’s a big deal for me considering all the baking I do, especially around this time of year.

Truvia® is America’s favorite stevia sweetener and is great for people looking to reduce calories, including people with diabetes and those looking to reduce sugar in their diets.
