Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Peanut Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a mixer until soft peaks form, meaning the cream holds shape but is still soft.
- Fold Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Mix carefully until completely smooth and creamy without deflating the whipped cream.
- Add Flavoring: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors evenly throughout the mousse.
- Chill: Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the mousse to set and develop a firmer, creamy texture.
- Serve: Once chilled, the mousse can be served as a spread, dip, or dessert. Enjoy it chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a lighter mousse, use whipped cream with lower fat content or substitute with whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- Ensure to fold the whipped cream gently to keep the mousse airy and fluffy.
- This mousse can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add crushed peanuts or chocolate chips on top for texture and garnish if desired.
