STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1 cup heavy whipping cream, ½ cup peanut butter (natural, no sugar added), 3 tbsp powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Look for the cream to hold shape but still be smooth.
3. Mix Peanut Butter & Sweetener: In a separate bowl, blend peanut butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Fold & Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Maintain airiness by folding slowly until fully combined but not deflated.
5. Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving bowls and refrigerate minimum 1 hour to set. The texture will be silky smooth and slightly firm on the edges.
6. Serve: Garnish with crushed nuts or sugar-free chocolate shavings for a nice contrast in texture.
