Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups peanut butter (creamy)
- 0.33 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the melted chocolate into the peanut butter mixture, stirring gently until the ingredients are completely blended.
Fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Mix gently to lighten the mixture without deflating the whipped cream.
Add the remaining whipped cream and fold it in slowly until fully incorporated and the mousse is light and airy.
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Place the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill and set.
Garnish with chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings before serving, if desired.
