Keto Peanut Butter Mousse

I am a huge fan of peanut butter. To keep me from eating spoonful after spoonful of the nutty, creamy stuff, I like to make peanut butter treats like my peanut butter pie and chewy peanut butter cookies. This mousse is the simplest of them all because it only uses five ingredients and doesn’t need any baking.

For a quick and easy low carb dessert that everyone will love, you have to try this peanut butter mousse. The light and airy mousse is packed with nutty flavor and pairs perfectly with hot summer days when you want a cool treat or when those peanut butter cravings hit.

1. Combine creamy peanut butter with softened cream cheese, powdered sugar free sweetener and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer.
3. Fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in order to lighten up the batter. Then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream aiming to keep the fluffiness of the mousse.

Key ingredients

• Peanut butter – The star of the show, you can’t have peanut butter mousse without peanut butter. Although you could substitute with your favorite nut butter, like almond butter or cashew butter and achieve a similar result. When selecting a peanut butter, use creamy instead of chunky (unless you want chunks of nuts in your mousse). Also look for one that doesn’t contain added sugars. Ideally the label should just say peanuts or peanuts and palm oil.
• Cream cheese – Cream cheese gives this no-bake dessert structure so you don’t end up with a floppy mousse.
• Powdered sweetener – Added to sweeten our dessert. Look for a confectioner’s sugar-free sweetener like erythritol, monk fruit or allulose.
• Heavy cream – Whipped until stiff peaks form. This is what gives our low carb mousse its lightness and airiness.
