Steps

Melt Chocolate

Break the dark chocolate into smaller pieces and melt it over a double boiler or in a microwave on low power, stirring frequently. Let it cool slightly.

Peanut Butter Base

In a medium bowl, combine the melted chocolate with the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Whip Cream

In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can curdle.

Combine & Chill

Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture, then add the remaining whipped cream and mix until homogeneous. Divide the mousse among 4 dessert glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow it to set completely.

Serve & Garnish

Before serving, sprinkle the desserts with roughly chopped roasted peanuts and a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder. Enjoy!

Extra Tips

► For the best results, ensure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping.

► If you love a salty-caramel twist, add a pinch of sea salt to the peanut butter mixture.

► You can also garnish with grated chocolate or chocolate shavings instead of peanuts.
