We’re also layering it with crushed homemade gluten free Oreos for even extra decadence!

Why you’ll LOVE this peanut butter mousse recipe:

I’m a fan of all easy desserts like no-bake mini cheesecake, banana pudding, and of course chocolate mousse. But the ease of this peanut butter mousse is reaching a whole new level.

And as a vegan dessert cookbook author, I’ve had my fair share of desserts. This vegan peanut butter mousse- you’re going to be speechless.

Plus, my husband, the peanut butter connoisseur, couldn’t put this one down.

Let me tell you about this delicious and easy dairy-free mousse recipe:

• Texture: Think of the fluffiest chocolate mousse you’ve ever had- then make it peanut butter flavored. That’s this mousse recipe. It’s perfectly soft, cloud-like, and light yet decadent, and is so spoonable.
• Ease: You only need 4 simple ingredients to make this naturally vegan peanut butter mousse, and the process is even easier. Just whisk everything together and chill in the fridge! In fact, because we’re using plant based ingredients, the chilling process is even quicker.
• Quick to make and enjoy! After just 10 minutes of making this mousse, you can absolutely enjoy it right away. However, if you give it 30 minutes in the fridge, the texture will be just perfect.
• Taste: If you love peanut butter, then you’re going to freak for this peanut butter mousse. It’s rich, nutty, just perfectly sweet with a hint of a tang from the cream cheese! And if you love the combo of chocolate and peanut butter, then the crushed Oreos are PERFECT for you!
• Ingredients: We only need 4 ingredients, and they’re all vegan and dairy free, which is great for allergies. You can, of course, swap in non-vegan ingredients, but the plant-based ingredients really work well here.

Grab these 4 ingredients:

• Peanut butter: You want a super creamy peanut butter here, and yes you can use natural peanut butter! I prefer it over using a more processed peanut butter, like Skippy’s or Jif. Just make sure to stir in the oils before using your peanut butter because you need those for a fluffy mousse!
• Vegan heavy cream: You can also swap in coconut cream if you’d like. I prefer to use Edward & Sons heavy coconut cream if I’m going that route. For heavy cream though, Silk and Plant Crock have a great dairy free heavy cream that actually tastes like cream! I love using it in my cheesecake recipes and to make whipped cream.
• Dairy Free Cream Cheese: The slight tang from the cream cheese really complements the sweet and nutty flavors in this peanut butter mousse! I like to use either Tofutti or Miyoko’s vegan cream cheese. Kite Hill is also good!
• Sugar: Unlike other peanut butter mousse recipes on the internet, I wanted to stick with a granulated sugar because I find it’s easier to find vegan, and also lends itself to using alternative options should you want refined sugar free. If you want to use refined sugar free, swap in coconut sugar or maple sugar!
• Optional: We have a few optional flavor enhancers, including vanilla extract and of course, crushed Oreos! Not necessary for a delicious peanut butter mousse, but certainly helps 🙂
