Preparation Steps
Gather all ingredients to streamline your cooking process.
Beat the heavy whipping cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
Combine creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar in another bowl until smooth.
Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture gently. Then, fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain.
Transfer the mousse to your chosen serving dishes and cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Sprinkle with chocolate shavings just before serving.
You can also garnish with crushed peanuts or drizzle chocolate sauce for a festive twist.
