Ingredients

For the Cookie Cups

  • 1 ¾ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup brown-style keto sweetener
  • ¾ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg white
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling

  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅔ cup powdered keto sweetener
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Cookie Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a mini muffin pan with 24 silicone liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, brown sweetener, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cloves.
  3. Add melted butter, egg white, and vanilla. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  4. Roll dough into ¾-inch balls and press each into the muffin cups, shaping up the sides to form small wells.
  5. Bake 15–20 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers puff slightly.
  6. Cool for 10 minutes, then gently press the centers to reform the wells. Cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Pumpkin Cheesecake Mousse

  1. Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sweetener until smooth.
  2. Mix in pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  4. Fold whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble

  1. Transfer filling to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip, or spoon into each cookie cup.
  2. Add a light dusting of pumpkin pie spice or sugar-free sprinkles.
  3. Chill before serving for best texture.

Pro Tips

  • Use silicone mini muffin liners to ensure easy release.
  • Cream cheese should be very soft, not just room temperature.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to keep the mousse light and airy.
  • For extra firmness, chill the assembled bites for at least 30 minutes.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Combines the cozy flavor of pumpkin pie with the richness of cheesecake.
  • No-bake filling saves time and stays extra creamy.
  • Perfectly portioned for parties, holidays, and keto meal planning.
  • Low-carb ingredients keep carbs minimal without sacrificing flavor.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Nut-Free: Replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour in equal amounts.
  • Stronger Pumpkin Flavor: Add extra pumpkin puree or ½ tsp more pumpkin spice.
  • Different Sweeteners: Powdered keto sweetener is required for the mousse; liquid sweeteners may work in small amounts.
  • Decoration Ideas: Sugar-free chocolate drizzle, chopped pecans, or keto caramel.

Make-Ahead, Storage & Reheating Guide

  • Make Ahead: Prepare cookie cups up to 3 days ahead; add mousse before serving.
  • Refrigerate: Store assembled bites in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
  • Freeze: Freeze cookie cups alone for up to 2 months. The mousse should be made fresh.
  • Reheating: Not required — these treats are served chilled.

Serving Ideas

  • Add to a fall dessert platter with keto brownies or pumpkin muffins.
  • Serve with chai tea, spiced coffee, or hot chocolate.
  • Top with a dollop of whipped cream for extra richness.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I substitute coconut flour for almond flour?

No, coconut flour will not work because it absorbs moisture differently. Use sunflower seed flour instead.

2. Can I use a different sweetener for the filling?

Absolutely! It makes a delicious standalone keto pumpkin mousse (about 4 servings).

4. Can I make these ahead for a holiday gathering?
