Peanut butter mousse is a delightful and creamy dessert that perfectly balances the nutty flavor of peanut butter with the smooth texture of cream cheese. This simple yet delicious recipe is quick to make and requires only a few ingredients, making it an excellent choice for a sweet treat or a satisfying dessert any time of the year.
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.
