Description

These Decadent Snickers Mousse Cups are a quick and indulgent treat combining creamy Greek yogurt, rich peanut butter, and silky dairy-free chocolate. Layered with crunchy salted peanuts and a sprinkle of sea salt, these mousse cups capture the nostalgic flavors of Snickers bars in a lighter, protein-packed dessert you can prepare in just minutes and chill for an hour.


Ingredients

Scale

Yogurt Base

  • 2 cups Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Peanut Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Chocolate Topping

  • 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup Salted Peanuts, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt


Instructions

  1. Blend Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, blend together Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Divide Yogurt Mixture: Spoon the smooth yogurt mixture evenly into four jars or small cups, creating the first layer of the mousse cups.
  3. Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and water. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and pourable, achieving the perfect consistency for layering.
  4. Layer Peanut Butter: Pour the peanut butter mixture evenly over the yogurt base in each of the four jars, creating a distinct second layer.
  5. Melt Chocolate: Gently melt dairy-free chocolate chips with coconut oil together until the chocolate is silky and smooth, ideal for drizzling.
  6. Add Chocolate Layer: Spoon the melted chocolate over each jar, allowing it to flow smoothly and create a glossy top layer on the mousse cups.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped salted peanuts and flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer to add crunch and elevate the flavor with a gourmet touch.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the prepared mousse cups for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil for a vegan-friendly dessert option.
  • Powdered peanut butter helps reduce fat content while retaining peanut flavor—substitute with natural peanut butter powder if desired.
  • Refrigeration is crucial to set the mousse and enhance the texture.
  • Serve chilled for the best taste and consistency.
  • Optional: For extra crunch, toast the peanuts lightly before chopping and garnishing.
