Description

Well it's 38°C (100°F) in Abu Dhabi at the moment, and oddly humid for this time of year, but with September two days away, it may as well be fall in this Canadian girl's brain, and that means pumpkin spice season has arrived. This light and fluffy creation is somewhere between a mousse and a pudding. It's not quite as airy or fluffy as a mousse, but also not really as thick and firm as a pudding. Whatever you want to call it, it's tasty and nutritious. Thanks to the pumpkin, there's almost 50% of an adult female's vitamin A in just a single serving (about 35% for adult males). Happy fall feasting (and can someone please send some chilly air my way)!

Equipment Required: a high-powered blender

Storage: refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Instructions

  1. ​Put all ingredients, apart from the chia seeds, in the carafe of a high-powered blender and blend to smooth.
    Some people enjoy chia pudding with the chia seeds blended in. I tried this method at some point in the past and wasn't a fan. It creates a flavor I don't enjoy. If you like blended chia seeds, feel free to blend them in.
  2. Add the chia seeds to the carafe and mix these in by hand until well distributed throughout the mixture.

    To make this a bit more like a chia pudding, and to add a wee bit more protein, you could increase the chia seeds to ​½ cup (80g). The resulting macros would be: 150 calories | 5.5g protein | 10g fat | 3.5g net carbs.
  3. Transfer the mousse to a large sealable bowl/container, or divide it into 8 small bowls/containers, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and chia seeds are plump and no longer crunchy. I like to let mine set overnight.
  4. Enjoy chilled.

    Topping Options: chopped nuts and/or seeds (I prefer toasted), nut/seed butter, keto-friendly granola, whipped coconut cream or low-carb plant-based cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

I tried this recipe when you first published it and it looks different. Did you change the recipe?

Since first making this recipe, Mori-Nu has reduced the size of their packages of tofu slightly. They also revised their nutritional label. I have adapted the recipe and revised the calories and macros to reflect those changes.

What data is used to calculate the calories and macros?

When available, I typically use NCCDB data in Cronometer to calculate calories and macros. There are a few items that I choose to use label or custom data for instead, despite the availability of NCCDB data. This is usually because I've found that the label data differs substantially and consistently for these foods. In this recipe, I have used label/custom data for extra-firm silken tofu (Mori-Nu), coconut milk (Aroy-D), and chia seeds (Bob's Redmill). Be aware that both NCCDB and label data change over time and so what I've given here may have changed since the recipe was first published.

The calorie and macro numbers on your recipes seem oddly uniform. Why is that?

Counting calories and macros can negatively affect mental health by being time-consuming and by creating an obsession with inconsequential levels of detail. In an effort to mitigate this, numbers are rounded. In most cases, numbers equal to or greater than 10g are rounded to the nearest whole number (e.g. 10g, 11g, 12g, etc.) and numbers below 10g are rounded to the nearest 0.5g (0.5g, 1g, 1.5g ... 9g, 9.5g). Any numbers below 0.5g are given as is (e.g. 0.1g, 0.2g, etc.). Calories are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5.

I'm allergic to coconut. Can I make this recipe coconut-free?

Yes, you can replace the coconut milk with a plant-based cream, or a combination of plant-based cream and plant-based milk. The fat in plant-based creams varies from about 14-35%. I have calculated the macros here with a coconut milk that has 18.5% fat.

What happened?

On July 4th, Weebly (my hosting platform) informed me that it was removing its services in my region and that my website would be unpublished as of September 27th. Fortunately, I had already been working on this new site and could have it finished by then. However, on July 15th, Weebly cancelled my subscription and notified me that my website would be unpublished imminently. I decided the best course of action was to transfer the domain name (www.keto4vegans.com) to my new unfinished site rather than have you encounter an error page and not have access to any of my content. 

Most of the content from my original site is already available here, and I’m working hard to redirect links, revise formatting, and add all the data needed for the new site’s fancy features to function at their full capacity.

Thank you for your patience while I revise content and work through the kinks.

…which is, unfortunately, still under construction.

Please bear with me while I continue to transfer content from my previous site, redirect links, revise formatting, and add all the data needed for the new site’s fancy features to function at their full capacity.
