Last week I wrote about the Nutella and peanut butter smoothie my kids enjoyed making. This week it is another chocolaty peanut butter concoction, but this time a truly delectable and yet super easy to make dessert! This is one of my husband’s favorites so I named it after him 🙂
Tim’s Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Mousse Pie
Ingredients
Filling
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 6 ounces chocolate chips
Whipped Cream
- 1 1/3 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 Tablespoons confectioner's sugar
- 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust I like the Mid-el Gluten free crust
Instructions
-
Chill metal bowl for whipped cream.
-
Whisk together ½ cup of heavy cream, mascarpone, confectioners’ sugar and peanut butter in another bowl.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
In the chilled bowl add the remaining heavy cream, vanilla and confectioners’ sugar and mix on medium speed until soft peaks form when you take the whisk out.
-
Fold ½ of whipped cream into peanut butter until combined. Fold the other half in.
-
Pour mousse mixture into the crust and chill in the fridge for about 2 hours.
This is so simple to make! It would be great for Father’s Day, a 4th of July barbecue or any day really. What is your favorite dessert to make?
