Peanut Butter Mousse Cups are a creamy, no-bake dessert made with a rich peanut butter and cream cheese base, folded with whipped cream for an airy texture. Served in individual cups, they’re elegant, indulgent, and perfect for entertaining or special occasions.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed cookies or chocolate base (optional)
  • Optional toppings: chocolate shavings, chopped peanuts, caramel drizzle

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until light and smooth.
  5. Optional: Add a layer of crushed cookies or chocolate base into the bottom of serving cups.
  6. Spoon or pipe the mousse evenly into 6 individual cups.
  7. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  8. Before serving, garnish with desired toppings such as chocolate shavings, chopped peanuts, or caramel drizzle.

Notes

  • Chill for longer than 1 hour for a firmer set and deeper flavor.
  • Use well-stirred natural peanut butter if using the natural variety.
  • These can be made ahead and stored covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • For a frozen treat, freeze the mousse and let sit at room temp 10 minutes before serving.
  • A cookie or pretzel base adds a great crunchy contrast to the creamy mousse.
