Ingredients
With only a few delicious ingredients, this chocolate peanut butter mousse comes together in less than a half hour!
Heavy Whipping Cream – This mousse calls for making your own homemade whipping cream both for serving as well as making the mousse.
Honey – I prefer to use local honey as much as possible. Honey is the sweetener making this a sugar-free chocolate peanut butter mousse!
Real Vanilla Extract – Please always use real vanilla extract, it makes a world of difference in your baking and desserts!
Cream Cheese – This adds a lush delicious creaminess to the mousse.
Peanut Butter – Use sugar-free natural peanut butter only! This is will make the best mousse without being too sweet.
Salt – To balance the sweetness.
Unsweetened Chocolate – You can use unsweetened chocolate chips or baking squares but always use a good quality chocolate.
Roasted Peanuts – Peanuts add a salty crunchiness to the final dessert.
Method
This is a fairly simple recipe but should be made shortly before serving.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer, add the heavy whipping cream, a tablespoon of honey, and half of the vanilla extract. Mix until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure all of the ingredients are incorporated. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of honey, the remaining vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold 2/3 of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until it is completely combined.
Divide the peanut butter mousse between 4 dessert bowls or parfait glasses. Set the serving dishes with the mousse in the fridge and chill for 10 minutes. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for serving by placing in the fridge.
Just before serving, place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and heat in 15 second intervals until completely melted. Once the chocolate is completely melted stir in the remaining honey until well combined. Set aside.
To serve, remove the peanut butter mousse from the fridge and top each serving with a spoonful of the remaining whipped cream, drizzle with the melted chocolate and garnish with a few chopped peanuts! Serve immediately.
Variations
There are many ways you can change this chocolate peanut butter mousse up a bit!
