Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter Mousse

  • 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Parfaits

  • 3 cup ice cream
  • 1 cup strawberry topping
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Prep your peanut butter mousse up to a day ahead of time. Beat together the cream cheese and peanut butter. Slowly add powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Add vanilla and mix again.
    4 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add a third of the whipping cream to the peanut butter base and gently stir to loosen the mousse. Add the remaining whipped cream in two additions, gently folding it in until no white streaks remain. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to assemble the parfaits.
    3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Make your homemade whipped cream just before serving. Add the whipped cream to a bowl with powdered sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
    1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • In a parfait glass, add a scoop of ice cream. Top with a large dollop of peanut butter mousse. Add a layer of strawberry syrup. Repeat layers to the top of the glass. Top with whipped cream and serve immediately.
    3 cup ice cream, 1 cup strawberry topping
  • This makes enough for four PBnJ Parfaits.

Notes

  • I tried this with my peanuts only peanut butter, but it didn’t work well, so make sure to pick up a creamy peanut butter (you can find a natural version still).
