Peanut Butter Mousse (No Gelatin, 4 Ingredients)
This delicious peanut butter mousse has a rich, creamy mousse texture with the irresistible flavor of peanut butter.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Peanut butter
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- ½ cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
- Into a large mixing bowl, room temperature cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar, and mix with an electric hand mixer until well combined.
- In a medium separate bowl, add the heavy cream, and whip it until medium peaks form.
- Transfer the whipped heavy cream to the peanut butter mixture and fold it gently with a spatula until smooth and combined.
- Transfer the mousse to a piping bag with a round tip, and pipe the mousse into 5 glass cups. Cover each cup with plastic wrap and store in the fridge to set for at least 5 hours.
- Top each mousse cup with peanut butter, whipped cream, and chopped peanuts. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure your cream cheese and peanut butter are at room temperature for smooth blending.
- Sift the powdered sugar. Remove any lumps by sifting the powdered sugar before adding it to the mixture.
- Opt for creamy peanut butter. Choose smooth peanut butter for a silky texture in your mousse.
- A single mousse cup will serve 2-3 people.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently to ensure that you have a homogeneous mixture that has no cream cheese lumps.
- Let your mousse chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours. I know it’s very hard to resist eating this delicious dessert right away, but you have to let the mousse to set.
- Don't overmix. Once you've added the whipped cream, fold it in gently to maintain the mousse's airy texture.
- Use high-fat cream cheese or the well-known Philadelphia cream cheese. Using full-fat cream cheese ensures that your mousse will stabilize without gelatin.
- Use COLD heavy cream for this. Cold heavy cream whips faster and holds its shape beautifully. Room temperature cream will whip as well, but will take way longer!
- In order to speed up this process and make the cream whip quicker, place the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping the mixture.
- You can use a cool whip instead of freshly made whipped cream if you are short on time for the topping.
