Description

This Peanut Butter Mousse with Crunchy Peanuts is a light, airy dessert featuring creamy natural peanut butter blended with whipped cream and sweetened with powdered sugar or maple syrup. Enhanced with chopped roasted peanuts for an irresistible crunch, this mousse is perfect for a quick yet indulgent treat that sets beautifully in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Mousse

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Whip the heavy cream: Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream in a large mixing bowl until soft peaks form, ensuring the cream is light and airy to create the perfect mousse base.
  2. Mix peanut butter mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  3. Fold whipped cream into peanut butter: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, being careful to maintain the light and airy texture by mixing slowly and thoroughly without deflating the cream.
  4. Add chopped peanuts: Fold in half of the roughly chopped roasted peanuts into the mousse to distribute a crunchy texture throughout the dessert.
  5. Assemble and garnish: Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Sprinkle the remaining chopped peanuts on top to add extra crunch and a decorative finish.
  6. Chill the mousse: Refrigerate the mousse for at least 1 hour to allow it to set properly and become chilled before serving, ensuring optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use natural, unsweetened peanut butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar or substituting with maple syrup.
  • For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and ensure peanut butter is free from animal products.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for freshness.
  • Chilling time is essential for the mousse to set well and develop its airy, creamy consistency.
