***I make my KETO whipped cream by beating a half cup of heavy whipping cream with 1 tablespoon Lakanto Powdered sweetener. Store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.

Notes: During Autumn, I typically have leftover pumpkin puree on hand, in the refrigerator, when a recipe does not use the entire can. I am always happy to find uses for small amounts of pumpkin puree.
My husband does not like Pumpkin Spice Lattes and would never order one, so I was surprised when he liked this drink!
