PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
A mousse is a soft prepared food that incorporates air bubbles to give it a light and airy texture. It can range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick, depending on preparation techniques. A mousse may be sweet or savory.

1. Separate eggs, setting yolks aside, and putting whites into a larger mixing bowl.
2. Add vanilla, and swerve to the egg whites and whisk or whip.
3. Slowly add heavy or whipping cream while whisking until soft peaks form.
4. Set aside.
5. In a double boiler, slowly melt the dark chocolate with the butter or ghee. I used 70% or higher, every time I made this recipe.
6. Once the chocolate is melted, whisk in salt, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until well combined, remove from heat.
7. Wait a couple of minutes until slightly cooled, and whisk in the egg yolks one at a time.
