Peanut Butter Mousse has become my new obsession!
Creamy peanut butter mousse in a pretzel crust
A simple concept
Yet the combination of this slightly salty, super creamy, crunchy and sweet tart will have your taste buds doing back flips!
This dessert can be throw together in no time since it’s no bake and no stress!
Change the serving vessel from a tart pan to a pie plate and add some homemade Copy Cat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on top!
You will have to double all the ingredients listed below to make this 8″ Pie as shown here!
Or just keep it super simple and pour this peanut butter mousse into glasses with some extra whipped cream and ganache!
We all know chocolate and peanut butter have always been best friends
Wait until you see what the addition of pretzels adds to this party!
For that crunchy element to this creamy peanut butter mousse delight!
Notes for Success:
You can use whatever brand vegan cream cheese you like the best here since this is a no bake dessert
The whipped cream can be made from my recipe or for an easier preparation use SILK brand whipping cream *not sponsored

- For the Crust:

Hmmm, Im not sure I remember that, Im sorry. But here is the one I use CLICK HERE
Hi. can I use the Silk Heavy Whipping Cream to make the whipped cream instead of coconut milk? How many cups of whipping cream should I add? Thanks so much.
YES! DEFINITELY! Typically the amount of whipped cream that results from a can of coconut milk is only about ½ cup volume of whipped, so just sub in that amount 🙂
Thank you so much!! I’m really looking forward to making this.
