1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons gelatin
2 tablespoons water

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality peanut butter. The better the peanut butter, the better the mousse will taste. Look for a peanut butter that is made with just peanuts and salt, and that has a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Chill the peanut butter and cream cheese before making the mousse. This will help the mousse to set properly and have a light and fluffy texture.
  • Whip the cream until it is stiff peaks. This will help to incorporate air into the mousse and make it light and fluffy.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the mousse and make it dense.
  • Serve the mousse immediately, or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling the mousse will help it to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter mousse is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover peanut butter, and it can be made in just a few minutes. The mousse is light and fluffy, with a rich and creamy peanut butter flavor. It is the perfect dessert for peanut butter lovers, and it is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
