Why do that?
• With only chocolate, peanut butter and some water, you can create a rich, silky and satisfactory mousse.
• Everything you do is to heat the ingredients, to stir it occasionally, to put the bowl over an ice cream bath and whisk until the mousse is airy.
Most chocolate mousse recipes require a certain resilience – they only have to whip cream or protein or tempered egg yolk without crawling them. I am here to tell you that you do not have to have this personal quality (still the cream and eggs) in order to create an incredibly creamy chocolate and peanut butter mousse with only two ingredients: chocolate, peanut butter and water (an advertising gift).
The idea behind this recipe was born after the writer Jennifer Zyman shared an input chocolate mousse that requires chocolate, water and absolutely no fun business. To make the mousse, simply whisk the melted chocolate with water over an ice pool until it becomes airy and silky.
Since my children love peanut butter (you can see the 48 -unzen glass that we buy from Costco in the picture below), I started to seep into something. It is a magical flavor combination for which my children become wild with the peanut butter cup from Reese in pudding form. It is a light and forgiving dessert that I can hit on the spur of the moment.
Be warned: This mousse is intended for hardcore fans of chocolate and peanut butter, as there are no dairy products or eggs that can cut through cocoa and peanut flavors. So my children prefer it when I use half -wet chocolate because it is not as bitter as dark or bitter.

How I can make my 2-domes chocolate peanut butter mousse
To make about four small portions, you need:
- 4 outes dark, bittersweet or half -sweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup of creamy or crispy peanut butter (not natural)
- 1/2 cup of water
Put chocolate, peanut butter and water in a medium -sized microwave -related bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, good with a small whisk after every time the chocolate has been completely melted. In my 900 watt microwave for high performance, it takes a total of three intervals or a total of 1 minute 30 seconds to make the mixture silky smooth.
Do you have no microwave?
You can melt the mixture in a double boiler. Fill a medium pot with about one centimeter water and set it up on low heat. Put chocolate, peanut butter and water in a bowl that can sit on the pot without touching the water. Place the bowl on the saucepan and stir the mixture until you are completely melted and combined.
As soon as the chocolate has melted completely, place the bowl on a larger bowl of ice water and make sure that there is not so much water that it sprays into her chocolate.
Whisk, whisk, whisk! Occasionally scratch the sides and the bottom of the bowl with your whisk. You want to stop lending when the mixture runs loose and a bit. There will be a little more for yourself when it is sitting. In about two minutes you have an essential cloud made of mousse.
Put the mousse in sweet cups or shells and sprinkle with scaly salt, sprinkles, chocolate shavings or crushed salted peanuts.

3 important tips for making this chocolate peanut butter mousse
- Do not use chocolate chips: Chocolate chips contain stabilizers such as soy or sunflower lecithin to keep their shape. They also have fewer cocoa butter than chocolate rods or pieces. This means that chocolate chips melt slower and not as smoothly and solidify faster. Baking chocolate baths or pieces is better for melting and what you should use for this recipe. Just make sure that you contain neither soy nor sunflower lecithin.
- Chop the chocolate tie In small, even pieces So that they melt evenly and quickly. Use any kind that you prefer – dark, bittersweet or half -sweet. I would avoid milk or white chocolate because they have a lower melting point and lower if they are not careful.
- Do not use natural peanut butter: For this recipe you want to use sweetened peanut butter (smooth or crispy, your choice) because it contains emulsifiers that do not complete it. If you add water, the peanut butter will not capture or separate. Avoid natural peanut butter that rather separate.
