Peanut Butter Protein Mousse

Peanut Butter Mousse is a smooth and creamy treat that will be every peanut butter lover’s dream! It is full of peanut butter flavor and just melts in your mouth with its velvety texture. Plus, it can be whipped up in about 5 minutes with just 5-6 ingredients that you probably already have on hand!

This super creamy healthy mousse recipe has no heavy cream or cream cheese, aquafaba, avocado, tofu or Greek yogurt!

You haven’t lived until you have experienced this delicious recipe. It’s thick yet airy, creamy yet rich, and loaded with sweet and subtly salty peanut butter flavor. The best part? You don’t need a laundry list of ingredients or multiple kitchen gadgets to make the magic happen.

Why I love this recipe

5 ingredients. Count them yourself- and they are basic pantry staples. 

No eggs needed. Unlike most mousse recipes, this recipe does not require eggs, yet it’s every bit as light and creamy.

Easy to make ahead. I’ve made this mousse up to three days in advance, and you would never be able to tell.

Fun to customize. Serve with crunchy toppings, use it as a filling, or make parfaits. This recipe is what YOU make of it.

Eat it straight from the bowl with a spoon, or turn it into a thick and luxurious peanut butter frosting for cakes, cupcakes, or brownies.

Serve with sliced fruit as a dessert dip, spread onto pancakes and top with mini chocolate chips, or layer it into jars to make peanut butter parfaits. There is no wrong way to enjoy this delicious peanut butter treat!

There is just three basic ingredients: peanut butter, sweetener of choice, and canned coconut cream. For a super healthy snack, try whipping a ripe mashed banana into the peanut butter mousse. It is seriously good this way.

Want to substitute almond butter, tahini (sesame seed butter), sunflower butter, or cashew butter for the peanut butter? That’s perfectly fine too!

Optional topping ideas include chopped peanuts, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or chopped fresh fruit. Or scoop it into fancy glasses or a graham cracker pie crust. Top with chocolate chips, shredded coconut, strawberries and chocolate syrup, or slices of banana and homemade whipped cream.

While you can freeze the recipe, it will change the texture. So I recommend making it either the day you are planning to serve it or the day or night before.

Servings 2

Ingredients

• 1 13,5 oz can coconut cream, full fat (solid part only) *see note below
• 2-5 tablespoons peanut butter, as desired
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 scoop protein or collagen powder
• 1` banana, optional
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Note: Place the can of coconut cream in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making this mousse to allow the coconut cream to separate (or just store a can in the fridge as soon as you buy it so you will never have to wait).

  Remove the lid from the chilled can then carefully scoop out the solid bit, the hardened coconut that has risen to the top, leaving the coconut “water” in the bottom of the can. You can add the left over coconut water to a smoothie, drink it or discard it.

  Scoop or spoon it into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until it begins to thicken and stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix here, as it could heat the cream and cause it to soften!

  Whip in the peanut butter,protein powder, honey, vanilla and mashed banana if using. Taste test and adjust sweetness or peanut butter taste as needed.

  Place in the fridge until ready to use.

  Note: Whipped coconut cream as used in this recipe is something you might like to consider making often as there are endless options for serving it.

  Add even more nutrition and healthy qualities to many other dishes with this nutrient-dense, fluffy, delicious, whipped coconut cream. Packed with healthy fats, tons of other good stuff and amazing flavour to help support a healthy, fit body.

  Dollop it onto almost any dessert – puddings, crumbles, parfaits, pies, cakes – or use it in curries or as the base for a creamy healthy ice cream. It’s also delicious on overnight oats, cooked oatmeal or in smoothie bowls.
