The Easy 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Mousse That’s Light And Creamy
BY MICHELLE WELSCH
This after-dinner treat can literally be made in minutes by combining creamy peanut butter, coconut milk or cream, and any sweetener of your choosing.
If you decide to use canned coconut milk, remember to place the container in the fridge overnight to chill. The topmost layer of cream is what you will use to whip the mousse.
Add the peanut butter slowly to the coconut product as you mix. Start with two tablespoons and gradually increase the amount to make a stronger-flavored treat.
Do the same for the sweetener. Whether it's maple syrup, agave syrup, honey, molasses, or powdered sugar, you'll want to keep an eye on it as you beat it into a fluffier state.
Top the mousse with homemade honey whipped cream, fresh berries, powdery sprinkles of cocoa or cinnamon powder. Alternatively, try roasted nuts or chocolate chips.
After this beauty of a dessert is whipped up, peanut butter mousse can be kept in the fridge for the next week, so you'll have a fast and easy dish should sweet cravings strike.
