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

Instructions
- 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.
- Divide Yogurt Mixture: Spoon the smooth yogurt mixture evenly into four jars or small cups, creating the first layer of the mousse cups.
- 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.
- Layer Peanut Butter: Pour the peanut butter mixture evenly over the yogurt base in each of the four jars, creating a distinct second layer.
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt dairy-free chocolate chips with coconut oil together until the chocolate is silky and smooth, ideal for drizzling.
- 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.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped salted peanuts and flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer to add crunch and elevate the flavor with a gourmet touch.
- 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.
