Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Chopped peanuts
- Sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using a hand mixer until soft peaks form, giving the mousse its light and airy texture.
- Mix Peanut Butter and Sweetener: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Stir carefully to maintain the fluffy consistency while ensuring that both mixtures are completely combined.
- Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and enhance the flavors.
- Add Optional Toppings: Just before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped peanuts or sugar-free chocolate chips on top for added texture and taste.
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter is sugar-free to keep the mousse keto-friendly.
- Use a sweetener of your choice if erythritol is not available, but keep it powdered for easy mixing.
- For best texture, do not overbeat the cream; soft peaks are ideal.
- Chilling time can be adjusted but a minimum of 30 minutes is recommended for proper setting.
- This mousse is best served cold and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
