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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the melted chocolate into the peanut butter mixture, stirring gently until the ingredients are completely blended.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the remaining whipped cream and fold it in slowly until fully incorporated and the mousse is light and airy.

Step 7

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.

Step 8

Place the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill and set.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings before serving, if desired.
