Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Mixture
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter powder
- 3 tablespoons water
Mousse Base
- 1 cup Cool Whip light
Optional Topping
- Sugar-free chocolate syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- Whisk Peanut Butter Powder and Water: In a mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons peanut butter powder with 3 tablespoons water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps to create a creamy peanut butter base.
- Fold Mixture into Cool Whip: Gently fold the peanut butter mixture into 1 cup of light Cool Whip, taking care not to deflate the whipped topping. Continue folding until fully combined and the mousse is smooth and airy.
- Portion and Freeze: Scoop or pipe the mousse into muffin cups or serving dishes. Place them in the freezer to set and chill, ensuring a refreshing texture. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until firm.
- Add Optional Topping: Before serving, drizzle sugar-free chocolate syrup over the mousse cups for added flavor and decoration, if desired.
Notes
- Peanut butter powder is a low-fat alternative to regular peanut butter, making this dessert lighter and lower in calories.
- Folding gently helps keep the mousse light and airy, preserving its fluffy texture.
- The mousse can be prepared ahead and stored in the freezer for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Cool Whip with a plant-based whipped topping.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing a flavored or sweetened peanut butter powder if preferred.
