This 5-Minute Peanut Butter Mousse is a luscious, creamy dessert that combines the rich flavors of smooth peanut butter and cream cheese with whipped heavy cream for a light, airy texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Mousse

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter (see notes)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the smooth peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  2. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This process usually takes 3-5 minutes and is crucial for achieving the mousse’s light and fluffy texture.
  3. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold ¼ of the whipped heavy cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it. Next, fold in another ½ of the whipped cream and mix well to combine. Finally, fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated, ensuring the mousse remains airy.
  4. Pipe and Chill: Transfer the mousse into a piping bag fitted with a swirly tip. Pipe the mousse into mason jars or glass jars. You can enjoy it immediately for a soft texture or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and firm up.

Notes

  • Use smooth peanut butter for a creamy texture without graininess.
  • Chilling the mousse for at least 30 minutes allows it to firm up for easier serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
