• Pumpkin puree: ¾ cup (not pie filling)

• Pure vanilla extract: 1 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Cream Cheese Base

Beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and lump-free. Add monk fruit, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix thoroughly into the cream cheese base.

Add Pumpkin

Stir in pumpkin puree until texture is silky and evenly blended.

Whip Cream

In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. It should be light yet hold its shape when lifted.

Fold Cream In

Gently fold whipped cream into pumpkin-cheese mixture in two batches. Use a spatula, folding until just combined—maintains lightness.

Taste & Adjust

Sample your fluff. If you prefer sweeter, add more monk fruit, a teaspoon at a time.

Chill Before Serving

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and deepen flavors.

Serve & Garnish

Spoon into bowls or mason jars. Top with a dollop of keto whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, or chopped pecans.
