Healthy Pumpkin Dessert – Pumpkin Pie Mousse

It’s pumpkin spice everything time! I love the time of year when all of the seasonal flavors start to make an appearance. I also love creating recipes like this healthy pumpkin dessert that have all of the flavor, without a ton of sugar.

And if you find yourself wanting to eat pumpkin pie for breakfast, this healthy pumpkin dessert recipe is would make a great breakfast, topped with your favorite seeds like pumpkin and sunflower – to give it some extra healthy fat and protein which our hormones and metabolism love to have first thing in the morning.

The recipe makes about 6 small dessert servings, or 3 breakfast servings.
