PEANUT BUTTER MOUSSE
In Dark Chocolate Cups
with Strawberry Blackberry Coulis
PEANUT BUTTER MOUSSE:
4 Oz. Whipped Cream Cheese
1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter (don't use natural peanut butters as they are not homogenized and will separate.)
1/2 C. Powdered Sugar
Splash or so of Half & Half
- With a hand mixer blend together the cream cheese, peanut butter and the powdered sugar until smooth.
- Slowly add in the half & half until you get a consistency similar to soft ice cream.
- Chill until ready to serve.
CHOCOLATE CUPS:
Small party balloons
16 Oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Blow up the balloons until they're the size of cup you want. Mine were about an 1-1/2" across.
- Melt your chocolate in a double boiler (I don't like microwaves for melting large amounts of chocolate).
- Dip your balloons into the melted chocolate part way - you can get fancy and do a tulip shape like the video below if you want.
- Chill the cups in the refrigerator.
- Dip again for a stronger, less fragile cup.
- Chill until ready to assemble your dessert.
TIP: After I blew up my balloons I SPRAYED THEM LIGHTLY with Pam - made mine SO much easier to remove the balloon without breaking my chocolate cups!!

THE PEANUT BUTTER MOUSSE CUPS
1/2 C. Extra Peanut Butter
Chocolate Syrup
Chocolate Shavings

- Put your peanut butter mousse into a piping bag (or a plastic bag with a 1/2" hole cut out of one corner).
- Pipe the mousse into your chocolate cups.
- I added some berry coulis around my peanut butter mousse to make these a PB& J style flavor.
- Top off with some shaved chocolate curls.
- Microwave 1/2 cup of peanut butter for about 20 seconds.
- Take a pastry brush, dip in the brush in the peanut butter then paint a streak across your plate.
- Squiggle on some of the chocolate syrup in a decorative pattern.
- Drop some of the chocolate shavings on your plate.
- Spoon on a little extra of the fruit coulis.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream.
- Serve and enjoy!
