Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 100 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 300 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 20 grams Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
- 20 grams Roasted peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chop the milk chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form (this usually takes 2-3 minutes). Transfer about 1/3 of the whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside for folding in later.
To the remaining whipped cream, add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt. Mix on low speed until fully combined.
Gently fold the melted milk chocolate into the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula and fold until there are no streaks of chocolate left.
Finally, fold in the reserved 1/3 whipped cream to lighten the mousse further. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the airy texture.
Divide the mousse evenly into serving glasses or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and roasted peanuts, if desired.
