Peanut Butter Mousse

If you're like me, you crave dessert... ALL THE TIME. And let's face it, most of us just don't have the time to put together a 2 hour dessert, no matter how delicious it is. That's why I'm always looking for something easy that I can whip up when the cravings hit. My go to flavor is chocolate, and everybody knows that chocolate and peanut butter make a great pair. This peanut butter mouse with chocolate curls is super easy to make and knocks those cravings out right on the spot.

Peanut Butter Mousse Recipe, Makes about 1 cup
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used homemade!)
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cocoa powder
1 chocolate bar

To make this delectable dessert, whip the cream and peanut butter together until it stiffens and peaks form. Gently fold in the sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Cover and chill for about 10 minutes.

To make the chocolate curls, slide a vegetable peeler up the candy bar.

Remove the mousse from the fridge and layer with chocolate curls.
