Instructions

Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream using a hand mixer until soft peaks form. This means the cream will hold its shape but still be soft and airy.
Mix Peanut Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar-free creamy peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula to combine them carefully, preserving the fluffiness of the mousse without deflating the cream.
Chill: Divide the mousse evenly into serving bowls or ramekins. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to set and develop the flavors.
Add Toppings (Optional): Before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped peanuts or sugar-free chocolate chips on top for added crunch and flavor contrast.

Notes

Use sugar-free peanut butter to keep the mousse keto-friendly and low in carbs.
Powdered erythritol is preferred to avoid graininess; you can powder granulated erythritol in a blender if needed.
For a dairy-free version, you can experiment with coconut cream instead of heavy cream, but texture will vary.
Ensure you fold the whipped cream gently to maintain the mousse’s airy texture.
Store leftover mousse covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
