I know this recipe is for 4 servings, but am I correct that each serving is approx 1/4C? Or is it more because of the aeration? I want to use this recipe to fill & frost 24 cupcakes so I’m trying to figure out how much I need to increase the recipe. A quart and a half of cream seems like a LOT. Thanks!
Is natural peanut butter the kind without sugar and the oil on the top?
That usually means no artificial sweeteners or any if possible. I like the brand 100% nuts. But any sweeteners including sugar and honey can change the taste. It’s already in the recipe.
Don’t be afraid of the oil on top. Just stir. And maybe 10 secs @ time in micro to soften. Keep stirring often. The oil will incorporate.
Could I pipe this into chocolate truffles?
This was the easiest mousse recipe ever. Used it between the layers of a yellow layer cake. Then topped with a whipped chocolate butter cream frosting. Can’t wait to make the peanut butter mousse recipe by itself and serve just on its own. Can literally eat this out of the bowl!
