Print Recipe

Peanut Butter Mousse Pie is a luscious, no-bake dessert that perfectly balances creamy, airy peanut butter mousse with a crunchy chocolate cookie crust. Easy to prepare and irresistibly smooth, this pie offers a rich nutty flavor with a light texture, ideal for any occasion from casual family dinners to festive celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or creamy)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookie crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Start by pressing crushed chocolate cookie crumbs firmly into a pie dish, creating an even base that will provide a crisp contrast to the smooth mousse.
  2. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with half of the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form—this will give your mousse its light and airy texture.
  3. Mix peanut butter: Combine creamy peanut butter with the remaining powdered sugar in a separate bowl, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened to blend perfectly with the whipped cream.
  4. Fold mousse: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, maintaining all that lovely fluffiness without deflating it.
  5. Assemble and chill: Pour the mousse over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors meld and the mousse set fully.

Notes

  • Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and a smoother mousse.
  • Chill your utensils (bowls and beaters) to whip cream faster and better.
  • Fold mousse gently to keep it light and airy without deflating.
  • Try customizing the crust with graham cracker or pretzel crumbs for unique flavors.
  • Refrigerate thoroughly, preferably overnight, for best mousse setting and perfect slicing.
