Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Mousse
This 5-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUT BUTTER MOUSSE (dairy-free, no refined sugar)✨ one of the easiest and most irresistible desserts I’ve ever made! It’s light and fluffy and near sinfully delicious - it tastes like those creamy peanut butter-filled M&Ms but of course better and better for you 🙌🏻 This recipe makes 2 so it would be the perfect make-ahead, no-bake dessert option for date night in ❤️
Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup coconut cream*
- Chocolate topping:
- 3 tbsp dairy-free chocolate chips
- ½ tsp coconut oil
- For topping: roasted peanuts flakey sea salt
Instructions
- Combine the peanut butter and coconut sugar in a medium mixing bowl and beat with a hand or stand mixer on a high speed for 1 minute. Scrape the sides and beat for another 30 seconds until fluffy
- In a separate bowl, beat your coconut cream at a high speed with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form (takes 1-2 minutes)
- Using a spatula, fold the coconut whip cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined
- Add your fluffy peanut butter mousse to two serving dishes and place in the fridge while you make your chocolate topping
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring often,
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for several minutes before topping the peanut butter mouse mixture with the chocolate (add peanuts and sea salt if desired)
- At this point the chocolate covered peanut butter mouse cups are ready to devour or you can return them to the fridge for the chocolate to harden up and they can be enjoyed at a later time
- Serve with a sprinkle of sea salt
- ENJOY!
Notes
you can either buy canned coconut cream or use the cream layer at the top of a can of chilled coconut milk - for this recipe you’ll need a few cans to be safe
