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: Chopped peanuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using a hand mixer until soft peaks form. This creates a light and airy base for your mousse.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and homogeneous.
- Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula to carefully combine them until the mousse is smooth and fluffy, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Chill the Mousse: Divide the mousse into individual serving bowls or cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and chill thoroughly.
- Add Toppings (Optional): Before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped peanuts or sugar-free chocolate chips on top for added texture and flavor enhancement.
Notes
- Use sugar-free or natural peanut butter without added sugars to keep it keto-friendly.
- Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for better whipping results.
- Sweeteners can be adjusted to taste or swapped for other keto-compatible options like monk fruit or stevia.
- For a firmer mousse, chill longer or add a stabilizer like gelatin if desired.
