Description
This vegan peanut butter mousse is light, fluffy, rich, salty, sweet and easy to make with just 6 ingredients and doesn't take any time to set. Plus, there's an optional (but encouraged) chocolate ganache layer that only takes a few minutes to whip up.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup vegan cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups store-bought vegan whipped cream + more for topping
Optional: Chocolate Ganache Layer
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
For topping: chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts
Instructions
- In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using an electric mixer), whip together cream cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until smooth and creamy. Add in the whipped cream and beat on medium for about 5 minutes, or until the mousse is light, fluffy and pale.
- Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients for chocolate ganache until smooth.
- Spoon mousse into a jar and (optional) layer with chocolate. Top with more whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
- Enjoy right away or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Notes
You can make the mousse up to a day ahead of time. We suggest pre-portioning into jars as it's easier to do when the mousse isn't refrigerated.
