📝 Ingredients
For the Mousse:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Whip the Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream should remain light and airy.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Peanut Butter Mixture:
In another bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick but easy to blend.
3. Combine the Mixtures:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula and mix slowly to keep the mousse light and fluffy. Continue folding until fully combined and smooth.
4. Chill the Mousse:
Spoon the mousse into serving cups or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow it to set and develop its rich texture.
5. Serve:
Serve chilled. You can garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed peanuts for an extra touch of elegance.
