Nothing gives me more pleasure than eating a nice cup of chocolate mousse. It’s one of the most decadently and wonderful chocolate dessert. My children just love it.
This time I didn´t want a common chocolate mousse. I wanted to do something different… something that I have never done before. I want to surprise at a family dinner with something really divine.
So, I thought of adding two beautiful flavors: chocolate with peanut butter. For me, the sweet chocolate flavor and the salty of the peanut butter are in a perfect match.
In this new recipe, I chose to add to the traditional dark chocolate a little of milk chocolate. I guarantee you that it became even more greedy.
This chocolate mousse with peanut butter it’s incredibly easy to do and it’s so versatile: you can use it for a party or you can serve it in a dinner of any weekday. It´s also perfect for the kids parties. Who doesn´t like chocolate mousse for a dessert?
This chocolate mousse is so creamy, rich and flavorful. As you can see the consistency and texture are just so perfect. The most amazing is that, as this recipe is made with dark and milk chocolate, almost has no sugar. I am sure that you will not have problems with this recipe and you will love it!
