Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse

Chocolate and peanut butter pair perfectly in this keto chocolate peanut butter mousse. We kick up the chocolate flavor in this decadent mouse with the addition of espresso powder!

In just 15 minutes, you can have this amazingly creamy and delicious keto chocolate peanut butter mousse ready to serve! I love making quick and easy sweet treats, and the combination of chocolate and peanut butter in this mousse is divine. You can serve this as is or top it with some keto whipped cream!

Let’s talk about the ingredients in our keto chocolate peanut butter mousse!

We combine just 8 ingredients to make this dessert, but the resulting dish is amazingly rich and delicious. We start with heavy whipping cream, which we beat until stiff peaks form. This will add a light airy quality to our mousse. In a separate bowl, we combine softened cream cheese and keto peanut butter. I like to choose peanut butter that contains only peanuts, or peanuts and salt. To this we add keto powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, espresso powder, vanilla, and salt. I recommend sifting your cocoa powder. It only takes a few seconds and will help ensure your mousse won’t contain any lumps of cocoa. Espresso powder is our secret ingredient! It works to enhance and intensify the chocolate flavor in our mousse. A little vanilla and salt round out our dessert perfectly!

Why would I want to make my own keto desserts?

There are a few great reasons you’d want to choose to make your own keto sweets. First, so many keto desserts are quick and easy to make, and they’re incredibly delicious! Second, when you make your own desserts and sweet treats, you will know exactly what goes into them and can be assured there are no added ingredients you don’t want. Another great reason to make your own keto desserts is when you do this, you’ll always have low carb sweets available, and this can help avoid the temptation to grab a quick high carb sweet. Last, when you make your own sweets, you can adjust ingredients to your taste preference. You can make your desserts exactly as sweet as you want them. You can also make fun substitutions such as using different flavored extracts and choosing whether to add nuts to your desserts, just to name a couple!

How do I make my own keto whipped cream to top my keto chocolate peanut butter mousse with?

It’s incredibly easy to make your own keto whipped cream, and the result is creamier and more delicious than anything else! I recommend you chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before using. Then, to your chilled bowl, you’ll add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of keto powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. You’ll beat this mixture until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks mean when you remove your beaters from the whipped cream, they form peaks which completely hold their shape. You can serve your whipped cream immediately or can keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it. If you’d like, you can easily double this recipe. You can also experiment and make your whipped cream with different flavored extracts.
