# Instructions:
01 -
In a large, chilled bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip. Set aside in the refrigerator. This forms the airy base for your Sugar-Free No-Bake Peanut Butter Mousse Dessert.
02 -
In a separate large bowl, beat 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened, with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add 1 cup natural unsweetened peanut butter and beat until well combined and lump-free, scraping down the sides as needed.
03 -
To the cream cheese and peanut butter mixture, add 1/2 cup powdered erythritol/monk fruit blend, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, 1/4 tsp xanthan gum, and 1/4 tsp espresso powder (optional). Beat until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
04 -
Gently fold the reserved whipped heavy whipping cream into the peanut butter mixture in two additions. Use a spatula to carefully combine until no streaks remain and the mousse is light and airy. Do not overmix to maintain volume for your Sugar-Free No-Bake Peanut Butter Mousse Dessert.
05 -
Divide the mousse evenly among 6 small serving dishes, ramekins, or dessert glasses. Cover each dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 4 hours, to allow the mousse to firm up and flavors to meld.
06 -
Before serving, remove the chilled mousse from the refrigerator. Garnish each serving with 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips, 2 tbsp roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped, and a light dusting of 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt for the perfect Sugar-Free No-Bake Peanut Butter Mousse Dessert.
# Notes:
01 -
For a richer peanut butter flavor, ensure your natural peanut butter is well-stirred before measuring.
02 -
Store leftover mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The texture is best within the first 2 days.
03 -
Xanthan gum is crucial for stabilizing this no-bake mousse; ensure it's thoroughly blended to prevent a grainy texture.
04 -
Feel free to customize toppings with sugar-free caramel drizzle or a few extra berries for added freshness.
