Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (smooth)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
Whip the heavy cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar: In another bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Fold in the whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Start with a small amount to lighten the mixture, then gently fold in the rest until smooth and fluffy.
- Chill the mousse: Spoon the mousse into serving cups or one large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and firmed up.
- Serve: Garnish with chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, or chocolate syrup, if desired, and serve.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 1/4 cup of melted chocolate to the peanut butter mixture.
- Try adding mini chocolate chips or crushed pretzels for extra texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute coconut cream for the heavy cream.
