Easy Peanut Butter Mousse Recipe for Parfaits and Pies

This creamy peanut butter mousse recipe is perfect for filling pies, layering in parfaits, or simply enjoying by the spoonful! It takes just 15 minutes to prepare, making it an ideal dessert for those warm summer days when you’d rather not turn on the oven.

I often make this recipe at my bakery because it’s so versatile. While it’s the star ingredient in my Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, that’s just the beginning! Here are a few more desserts my shop creates with this mousse:

  • Fill a parfait glass by layering chocolate ganache, fresh banana slices, and creamy peanut butter mousse. Finish it off with a caramelized banana slice or a sprinkle of peanut brittle for a delightful crunch.
  • Pipe it into mini-chocolate cups and drizzle with chocolate ganache for a Reese's style treat.

What type of peanut butter to use?

There are so many peanut butter options to choose from! Whether you prefer creamy or chunky, both work well in this mousse. Personally, I like a bit of texture, so I usually opt for chunky peanut butter. If you're using natural peanut butter, be sure to mix it thoroughly to blend the oil and peanuts evenly.

Storage

This peanut butter mousse is perishable, so keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for up to four days. This helps prevent it from absorbing any odors from other items in your fridge.

    This tastes really good but is way too loose to be used on a cake. I tried. It just oozed out with the weight of just one layer on top of it. I tried to chill it to stiffen it but it never got stiff enough to use. In fact, after chilling it, I could still use it as a "drip" for the top of the cake.
    🙁

      Cindy, Thank you for the feedback. I've used this many times at the bakery for cake fillings and also for pies which slice nicely. The only thing I can think of is the whipped cream needs to reach medium peaks and should be folded gently into the peanut butter mixture - overfolding will cause the mousse to be loose. I'm sorry this recipe did not work for you needs. Stephanie
