No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Dessert

Print Recipe

A rich and creamy no-bake dessert that combines layers of chocolate mousse and peanut butter cream over a buttery graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until all crumbs are moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Make the mousse: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar while continuing to beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  3. Fold everything together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Once fully combined, pour the mousse over the prepared crust.
  4. Chill: Place the pie dish in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes to let the mousse set.
  5. Prepare the ganache: In a saucepan, heat the remaining heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted.
  6. Top it off: Once the mousse is set, pour the chocolate ganache over the top and spread it out evenly.
  7. Chill again: Return the dessert to the fridge for at least another 30 minutes.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Slice it up and serve chilled with whipped cream and crushed peanuts.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers. For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with vegan options.
