A luscious and airy Peanut Butter Mousse Delight featuring creamy whipped cream and rich peanut butter combined into a smooth, fluffy dessert topped with crunchy crushed peanuts. Perfect for peanut butter lovers seeking a light yet indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Mousse Base

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Gather all ingredients and your mixing tools to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted process.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, creating the airy base for the mousse.
  3. Mix Peanut Butter Base: In a separate bowl, blend creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the peanut butter mixture into the whipped cream using soft, sweeping motions to maintain the light, fluffy texture without deflating the cream.
  5. Assemble: Spoon the mousse evenly into individual serving dishes, then sprinkle the optional crushed peanuts on top for added crunch and decoration.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the mousse servings for at least 1 hour to let the dessert set firm and cold, enhancing its texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a less sweet mousse, reduce powdered sugar to 1/3 cup.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a more intense peanut flavor but expect a less creamy texture.
  • Be careful not to over-whip the cream to avoid turning it into butter.
  • Chilling time can be extended up to 3 hours for a firmer mousse.
  • Crushed peanuts topping is optional but adds delightful texture.
