Notes
*It’s important to make sure you’re using no-stir natural peanut butter for this recipe that does not contain sugar as it can throw off the texture and level of sweetness.
*To make sugar-free peanut butter mousse. Use sugar-free cool whip and replace the powdered sugar with Swerve Powdered Sugar or Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener. Taste as you go, as the level of sweetness is different when compared to traditional powdered sugar. These ingredient swaps make this dessert suitable for a keto or low-carb lifestyle.
