Scale
Base 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 Toppings
- Chopped peanuts
- Sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This will give your mousse a light and airy texture.
- Mix peanut butter and sweetener: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.
- Fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Be careful to maintain the fluffiness by folding slowly until the mixture is smooth and airy.
- Chill the mousse: Spoon the mousse evenly into serving bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it set and chill thoroughly, enhancing the texture and flavor.
- Add optional toppings: Before serving, optionally top with chopped peanuts or sugar-free chocolate chips to add crunch and extra flavor to your mousse.
Notes
- Use sugar-free peanut butter to keep this recipe keto-friendly and low in carbs.
- Powdered erythritol is preferred for a smoother texture, but other keto-friendly sweeteners can be used.
- Ensure not to overwhip the cream to avoid turning it into butter.
- For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a plant-based peanut butter.
- Chilling the mousse is essential for the best creamy and firm texture.
