Ingredients
Scale
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup crunchy peanuts, roughly chopped
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Continue folding until fully incorporated.
Stir in the chopped crunchy peanuts, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
Before serving, top with the reserved crunchy peanuts for added texture and garnish.
Notes
For a chocolate twist, fold in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder with the peanut butter mixture.
Substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
