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 take low carb peanut butter treats like keto peanut butter pie and chewy keto peanut butter cookies. This keto peanut butter recipe is the simplest of them all because it only uses five ingredients and doesn’t take very long to make or require any baking.

For a quick and easy sugar free dessert that everyone will love, you must make this keto peanut butter mousse. The light and airy mousse is loaded with your favorite nutty flavor and pairs perfectly with those hot summer days when you want a cool treat or when those peanut butter cravings hit.

1. Combine creamy low carb 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, make sure to use a creamy peanut butter instead of chunky (unless you want chunks of nuts in your mousse). Also look for a peanut butter that doesn’t contain added sugars. Ideally the ingredients should just say peanuts or peanuts and palm oil.
• Cream cheese – Cream cheese is added to give this no-bake dessert structure, so you don’t end up with a floppy mousse.
• Powdered sweetener – Added to sweetened up our dessert. Look for a confectioner’s sugar-free sweetener like erythritol, monk fruit or allulose.
• Heavy cream – Whipped to form whipped cream. This is used to provide lightness and airiness to our creamy keto dessert.
