I made a pumpkin pie for Chase last week and decided I wanted to try to make a paleo equivalent. However, I did not want to have to deal with making a gluten-free paleo crusts—so I decided pumpkin mousse was on the docket.
I had refrigerated a can of coconut milk overnight.
I then scooped out the coconut milk that had solidified into cream and added ½ cup of canned pumpkin.
I then added about ¼ cup of granulated sugar:
And ¼ cup of brown sugar:
(Thank you, Aunt Patty, for my adorably festive bowl!)
The most important addition was ½ tsp cinnamon:
Then I whipped in the kitchen aid for about 1 minute:
I stored it in the fridge and had it as a lovely little paleo treat!
This was very delicious!

Mmm! Yes, I love pumpkin! My quick and easy desserts almost always include chocolate!
mmmm so lovely! I bet blending a banana instead of sugar would be a great sugar substitute also. Or even some dates thrown in there. I’m buying coconut milk asap, there are so many great treats I want to make with it!
Yumm love pumpkin right now, and I am so not sick of it either 🙂 Obviously I am saving this to make!
Oooh I love pumpkin! I’d love to make this!
That’s awesome. I ,KNOW I would prefer that to pumpkin pie because I’m NOT a crust fan. Love that festive bowl!
