Description

Indulge in the creamy decadence of this Peanut Butter Mousse with Crunchy Peanuts. A luscious blend of peanut butter, cream cheese, and whipped cream, topped with a satisfying crunch of roasted peanuts.


Ingredients

For the Mousse:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For Topping:

  • ¼ cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • additional whipped cream, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mousse: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Chill and Serve: Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to set. Top with chopped roasted peanuts and optional whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for a more textured mousse.
  • For added flair, layer the mousse with crushed cookies for a parfait-style dessert.
