Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 0.25 cup powdered erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk or hand mixer beaters in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. This helps the heavy whipping cream achieve the best whip texture.
In a separate large mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, microwave it for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to mix.
Add the unsweetened peanut butter, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the cream cheese. Blend with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the freezer. Add the heavy whipping cream to the cold bowl and whisk or beat on high until stiff peaks form. Be mindful not to overbeat, as it can turn into butter.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Fold until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Distribute the mousse evenly into 4 small serving dishes or glasses. If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set before serving. Enjoy!
