ChefXi OfficialA velvety, cloud-like mousse made with rich peanut butter and freshly whipped cream. Perfect for a quick keto-friendly dessert or a high-protein afternoon pick-me-up.
In a chilled glass bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
Chilling the bowl and whisk beforehand helps the cream fluff up much faster.
In a separate small bowl, microwave the peanut butter for 10-15 seconds just until it reaches a slightly pourable consistency. Mix in the sweetener and vanilla extract.
Don't overheat it; we just want it loose enough to fold into the delicate cream.
Gently fold the peanut butter mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Use slow, circular motions to keep the air in the cream so it stays light and vibrant.
Stop folding as soon as you see beautiful tan swirls; over-mixing will deflate the mousse.
Transfer the mousse to a small ramekin or decorative glass. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt and serve immediately.
This is the ultimate low-carb indulgence when you need something sweet but want to stay in ketosis. The key is using high-quality, creamy peanut butter with no added sugar. For an extra touch of 'essence,' a tiny pinch of sea salt on top elevates the nuttiness. You can also freeze this for 30 minutes for a texture that mimics a rich peanut butter mousse cake.
