Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • Optional toppings: chocolate shavings crushed peanuts, whipped cream

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This step is key to getting a light and airy mousse texture.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in batches. Use a spatula to combine without deflating the whipped cream. Mix just until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Before serving, top with optional toppings like whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or crushed nuts.

Notes

  • Refrigeration: Store in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days.
