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)
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and your mixing tools to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted process.
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, creating the airy base for the mousse.
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble: Spoon the mousse evenly into individual serving dishes, then sprinkle the optional crushed peanuts on top for added crunch and decoration.
- 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.
