Peanut Butter Mousse Ingredients

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the smooth peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
  2. Whip the cream: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is fully whipped and holds shape.
  3. Combine mixtures: Gently fold about ¼ of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it. Then fold in another ½ of the whipped cream and mix well for a smooth, fluffy consistency. Finally, add the remaining whipped cream and fold it through until fully combined.
  4. Pipe and chill: Transfer the mousse into a piping bag fitted with a swirly tip, and pipe into mason jars or glass serving containers. You can enjoy immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use smooth peanut butter for a creamy texture without lumps.
  • Softened cream cheese blends easier and results in a smoother mousse.
  • Refrigerating the mousse intensifies flavor and improves texture but is optional if serving immediately.
  • The mousse can be garnished with chopped peanuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of honey for extra flair.
