Pumpkin Chocolate Mousse Pie

October 15, 2016October 23, 2016 Melissa King 16 Comments

Tonight I am going to a dinner party, and I was asked to bring a pumpkin dessert. That is how this pumpkin chocolate mousse pie came about. It’s got a chocolate pecan crust, a rich pumpkin mousse for the filling, and a chocolate drizzle on top. So yum!!

You can tell by the picture that I may have gone a little crazy with the chocolate. I’m sure the guests won’t complain!

This healthy pie may look fancy, but it’s super simple to whip up! There is actually no baking required. You can make it ahead of time and pull it out when you are ready to eat. It happens to be vegan, gluten free AND paleo approved!

This pie would be a great dessert for Thanksgiving as well. It’s a great alternative to traditional pumpkin pie and great for chocolate lovers! Since there is no baking required, making this leaves the oven free to cook all those yummy Thanksgiving eats. I hope you enjoy it!

This Pumpkin Pecan Pudding Bread should be part of your next dessert plan! If you are a member of my Facebook group, you probably saw this amazing recipe from Life Made Sweeter the other day. If you are not a member, you can request to join here.

A reader of mine shared it asking if I could make it vegan and gluten free. I love a challenge, so I got to work right away. What you see below is my version.

My picture may not look as beautiful as the original author, but I promise it’s delicious. This recipe is divine!

It’s warm, gooey and packed with the flavors of fall thanks to the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. The best part? You can easily make this in the slow cooker!

Remember Little Debbie’s cream pies? I made Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies for you! These healthier cookies are no bake, vegan and gluten free! I slightly tweaked my Raw Oatmeal Cream Pie recipe to come up with this one. It’s perfect for Fall, or whenever!

I used a cashew cream for the cream filling, but you can also do a chocolate cream or even a coconut cream if you want a nut free version. My brownie batter hummus would also make a yummy filling!

Pumpkin Chocolate Bars that are vegan, paleo and gluten free. My favorite time of year is here! Do you love fall too? Pumpkin on all the things!

I am starting with these delectable pumpkin bars. These healthy bars were inspired by this amazing recipe on Pinch of Yum.

As soon as I saw her recipe, I thought about making a pumpkin version. It came out great!

Another great thing about these bars is that they contain no re-fined sugars. They also require no cooking at all! Score!

These dessert bars are very rich and you only need a little bit to feel satisfied. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

I know it’s kinda early for pumpkin, but to be honest, we eat it all year long. The minute I tried this REBBL Ashwagandha Chai Coconut Milk Elixir, I knew it would be delicious with pumpkin. I was right. The warm spices from the Chai, pair perfectly with the pumpkin!

I had the pleasure of trying all the vegan flavors and they are delicious. Perfect for take on the go, just like you would a coffee drink, but without the caffeine. I really love the Maca Cold-Brew as an alternative to coffee drinks. The maca root gives you sustained, non-jittery energy, and the taste is great too!

REBBL stands for Root, Extracts, Berries, Bark and Leaves. REBBL offers many different coconut milk elixirs: Matcha Latte, Turmeric Golden Milk, Maca Cold Brew, Maca Mocha, Reishi Chocolate and Ashwagandha Chai. They also offer 2 protein drinks: Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Spice.
