Vegan Peanut Butter Mousse
This mousse is incredibly creamy, using a base of coconut cream or silken tofu for a light, airy finish.
Ingredients
-
1 cup Creamy peanut butter (natural is best)
-
1 can (13.5 oz) Full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight (use only the solid cream from the top)
-
1/2 cup Maple syrup or agave nectar
-
1 tsp Vanilla extract
-
Pinch of sea salt
-
For the Ganache Topping: 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips melted with 2 tbsp coconut milk.
Instructions
-
Prepare the Base: Scoop the hardened coconut cream from the top of the chilled can into a large chilled bowl. Whisk with a hand mixer until fluffy.
-
Blend: Fold in the creamy peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Whisk again until the mixture is completely smooth and light.
-
Set: Divide the mousse into individual serving bowls. Let them chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up.
-
Top: Once set, pour a thin layer of the chocolate ganache over each bowl.
-
Serve: Add a few crushed peanuts on top for a delightful crunch before serving.
