Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Mousse

  • 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 peanut butter base: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Set this mixture aside.
  2. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters out of the cream, peaks stand up straight without drooping.
  3. Combine mixtures gently: Gradually fold ¼ of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it. Then fold in half of the remaining whipped cream thoroughly. Finally, fold in the last portion of whipped cream until just combined, maintaining a light, airy texture.
  4. Pipe and serve: Transfer the mousse into a piping bag fitted with a swirly tip and pipe into mason jars or glass serving containers. You can enjoy the mousse immediately for a softer texture or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for a firmer consistency.

Notes

  • Use smooth peanut butter for the creamiest texture; chunky peanut butter will change the mousse’s texture.
  • Softening the cream cheese prior to mixing helps achieve a smoother, lump-free mousse.
  • Chilling the mousse for at least 30 minutes thickens it and improves flavor melding.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with vegan versions, though texture may slightly vary.
