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)
Directions
Step 1
Chop the milk chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
To the remaining whipped cream, add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt. Mix on low speed until fully combined.
Step 5
Gently fold the melted milk chocolate into the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula and fold until there are no streaks of chocolate left.
Step 6
Finally, fold in the reserved 1/3 whipped cream to lighten the mousse further. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the airy texture.
Step 7
Divide the mousse evenly into serving glasses or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and roasted peanuts, if desired.
