Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Base
- 2 cups Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Powdered Peanut Butter
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 2 tablespoons Water
Chocolate Topping
- 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
Garnish
- 1/4 cup Salted Peanuts, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and measure accurately to ensure smooth layering of flavors.
- Make Yogurt Base: Blend together Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, and maple syrup in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the tangy and protein-rich foundation of the mousse cups.
- Assemble Yogurt Layer: Spoon the yogurt mixture evenly into four jars or small cups to create an even base for the next layers.
- Create Peanut Butter Layer: In a separate bowl, mix creamy peanut butter with maple syrup and water until the mixture is smooth and pourable to add nutty creaminess.
- Add Peanut Butter Layer: Pour the peanut butter mixture evenly over the yogurt base in each jar, carefully layering to maintain distinct textures.
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth and silky, ensuring the coconut oil helps keep the chocolate glossy.
- Top with Chocolate: Spoon the melted chocolate over each jar, allowing it to flow naturally to create a visually appealing top layer.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped salted peanuts and flaky sea salt on top of the chocolate layer to add a delightful crunch and gourmet touch.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 1 hour to set all layers, enhancing the flavors and texture before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt to achieve a creamy texture.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat but retains the peanut flavor; regular peanut butter can be substituted if preferred.
- Ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free for a vegan-friendly dessert.
- Refrigerating overnight will deepen the flavor and improve texture further.
- These mousse cups can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
