Yes, I know…another pumpkin recipe. This low carb frozen layered pumpkin dessert is my new favorite fall treat. I’d rather have this less guilt dessert than a traditional pumpkin pie, since there’s less sugar and carbs in this one. Plus, it’s frozen!

Personally, I just can’t get enough of the orange stuff, and since it’s high in beta carotine/Vitamin A, Vitamin C and fiber, plus potassium, magnesium and other stuff, there’s not a lot of reason not to eat it.

Oh and remember that controversy a couple of years ago where people were upset because canned pumpkin supposedly wasn’t real pumpkin? Well apparently some brands are more of a closely related winter squash than pure pumpkin. But it makes very little difference to me.

In this pumpkin frozen dessert, I use a couple of ingredients that I won in a giveaway on Instagram from Crepini Egg Wraps and DAK’s Spices. Both brands have great products. This post is not sponsored by either, but I am happy to have won and been able to try them!

One of the new (to me) products I used in this recipe is Truwhip. It’s a frozen dessert topping that is advertised as having cleaner ingredients than the traditional brands. I used the keto version, which lists allulose as opposed to sugar or other sweeteners. It tastes good. If you can’t find Truwhip, you can make your own whipped cream with allulose (or your preferred sweetener) and use that.

I used Snickerdoodle MRE Lite protein powder to add some filling protein and flavor. You can totally use vanilla protein powder in this recipe, but be sure to add extra cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to the mixture.

How to alter this recipe to fit your specific macros…

Do you need this dessert to contain less fat? Then I recommend using reduced fat or non-fat cream cheese. You can also use a dairy free cream cheese like Kitehill, if that suits your diet better.

Additionally, if you would like more protein in the dessert, add another scoop of protein powder. It will make the pumpkin batter mixture slightly thicker, but will not affect the taste much.
