Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to make it easier to blend.
- Measure out all your ingredients beforehand for a smoother process.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of coconut milk and 4 oz of softened cream cheese.
- Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the mixture.
- Continue mixing on medium speed until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of stevia leaf sweetener to the bowl.
- Mix on low speed to start, then gradually increase to medium speed until everything is well blended and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- The mousse should be light and creamy. If it's too thick, you can add a small splash of coconut milk and mix again until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or a single large container.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
- Once chilled, the peanut butter mousse is ready to enjoy!
- You can serve it as is, or garnish with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra touch.
Tips:
- Ensure that the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will help it blend more smoothly with the other ingredients and result in a creamier mousse.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer texture. If you prefer a lighter mousse, you can substitute with a light coconut milk, but the consistency will be slightly different.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter mousse, add a bit more stevia or your preferred sweetener.
- For extra flavor and texture, consider topping the mousse with crushed peanuts or a drizzle of melted chocolate before serving.
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly.
