Equipment

▢
Electric Mixer

Ingredients

▢ 1 cup Heavy Cream
▢ 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
▢ 1 cup Cream Cheese, 4 oz, softened
▢ 1 cup Powdered Sugar
▢ Mini chocolate chips, for topping

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to beat 1 cup heavy cream on high until stiff peaks form. Alternatively, you can use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer. Remove the whipped cream to a different bowl.
Add 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup cream cheese, and 1 cup powdered sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat together using the paddle attachment (or electric hand mixer) until smooth.
Add about ½ cup of the whipped cream into the bowl with the peanut butter mixture and beat until combined.
Add in the rest of the whipped cream and fold the cream into the peanut butter mixture gently by hand, until fully incorporated.
Refrigerate the peanut butter mousse for 20 minutes until it reaches a piping consistency. Then add the mousse into a piping bag and pipe into serving dishes.
Top with mini chocolate chips and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.

Heavy Cream: The perfect texture for mousse requires all the fat in heavy cream. I do not recommend any substitutions.
Creamy Peanut Butter: A name-brand peanut butter will give you the best flavor and texture for this recipe
Cream Cheese: For the best flavor use full-fat cream cheese. Let it come to room temperature before using it to help prevent any lumps in your mousse.
Powdered Sugar: powdered sugar helps stabilize the mixture so it doesn’t melt
Mini Chocolate Chips: For topping
Start with room-temperature cream cheese. Cold cream cheese will be more difficult to mix and may cause some lumps in your mousse.
Use creamy peanut butter. Mousse is meant to be creamy so for the best results, use creamy peanut butter.
Add the whipped cream slowly and gently. Don’t try to combine all the whipped cream and peanut butter at the same time. Gently mix in your whipped cream to keep your mousse light and fluffy.
