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: Chopped peanuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using a hand mixer until soft peaks form. This creates a light, airy base for the mousse.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Mix until the mousse is smooth and fluffy but be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Chill the Mousse: Divide the mousse evenly into serving bowls or glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and the flavors to meld.
- Add Toppings (Optional): Before serving, optionally top each mousse with chopped peanuts or sugar-free chocolate chips to add texture and a bit of extra flavor.
Notes
- Use sugar-free peanut butter to keep the mousse keto-friendly.
- Powdered erythritol can be substituted with any low-carb powdered sweetener to taste.
- Be careful when folding the whipped cream to keep the mousse light and fluffy.
- Refrigerating the mousse improves the texture and flavor.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimum freshness.
