Every once in a while you need a decadent dessert that you can whip up quickly without turning on the oven. Something that will please everyone\u2019s palate, is individually portioned for easy serving, and can even be prepared and frozen overnight. Sound too good to be true? It’s not! The amazing treat is our recipe for peanut butter mousse.<\/p>\n
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set the cream mixture aside.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> When you lift up the beaters, the peaks should stand straight up, not curl down. And, yep, this is exactly how you\u2019d make homemade whipped cream<\/a>. If you\u2019ve tackled that before, then this peanut butter mousse recipe will be a breeze!<\/p>\n In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar together until smooth.<\/p>\n Gradually beat in the peanut butter until smooth.<\/p>\n Then, carefully fold in<\/a>\u00a0the whipped cream with a rubber spatula.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Don\u2019t rush this step\u2014gently folding in the whipped cream will keep the mousse light and airy.<\/p>\n Spoon or pipe the peanut butter mousse into ramekins or small dessert dishes.<\/p>\n Garnish with peanuts and chocolate shavings if desired.<\/p>\n Refrigerate the mousse for at least an hour before serving.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0I recommend covering the dishes with storage wrap if you can so the mousse doesn\u2019t absorb any funky fridge smells.<\/p>\n To store peanut butter mousse, cover it tightly with storage wrap or transfer the mousse to an airtight container. It can be kept in the fridge for up to three days.<\/p>\n Absolutely! To freeze, store the mousse in an airtight container for up to three months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.<\/p>\n Yes, you can prepare the mousse up to three days in advance, as long as you leave the toppings off and keep it covered tightly with storage wrap in the refrigerator until you\u2019re ready to serve.<\/p>\n This recipe for peanut butter mousse uses naturally gluten-free ingredients. However, if you are feeding someone who is celiac, make sure that every packaged good you purchase for this recipe is certified gluten-free. Some celiacs are even sensitive to the environment in which products are produced, so while the products can be naturally gluten-free, the facility where they were processed might not be. A gluten-free certification and a quick check under the ingredients will tell you!<\/p>\n Peanut butter-chocolate lovers should drizzle chocolate syrup all over this easy peanut butter mousse. Avoid hot fudge as it may mess up the delicate texture. Chop up Reese\u2019s cups and scatter them all over the mousse, along with the peanuts and chocolate shavings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This no-bake peanut butter mousse is decadent and creamy.
