Ingredients
Peanut Butter Mousse
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (optional)
- Chocolate shavings
- Crushed peanuts
- Additional whipped cream
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, making sure not to overwhip. Set this whipped cream aside for folding later.
- Mix the Peanut Butter: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat them together until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
- Fold It Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula, carefully blending the two until fully combined while maintaining the light texture.
- Chill: Spoon the peanut butter mousse into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set and develop flavors.
- Serve & Enjoy: Before serving, top the mousse with extra whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed peanuts for added texture and decoration.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping for best volume.
- Use creamy peanut butter for smooth texture; natural peanut butter may alter consistency.
- Chilling time helps the mousse set properly, but can be extended up to 2 hours if desired.
- For a richer flavor, garnish with a drizzle of melted chocolate.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for freshness.
