Delicious Peanut Butter Mousse Recipe – Easy Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
1
  • 1 cup peanut butter ( creamy or crunchy, depending on preference)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for whipping)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for enhanced flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to balance flavors)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Cream

    In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

    Ensure the bowl and beaters are cold for better whipping.
  2. Mix Peanut Butter

    In another bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.

    Using a hand mixer can make blending easier.
  3. Combine Mixtures

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined.

    Use a spatula to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Chill

    Transfer the mousse to serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

    Chilling helps the mousse set properly.
  5. Serve

    Garnish with chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts before serving.

    Serve chilled for the best texture.
