This Peanut Butter Mousse starts with a layer of crushed Oreos followed by a rich and fluffy mousse. This easy no-bake treat will satisfy any peanut butter lover!

Ingredients
- 1 cup Oreos crushed
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Chopped peanuts or peanut butter cups for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Divide the crushed Oreos between 4 or 6 small jars. If using 4 jars, the mousse will yield 3/4 cup each. If using 6 jars, the mousse will yield 1/2 cup each.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar followed by the vanilla, beating on low speed.
- When all of the powdered sugar has been incorporated, slowly beat in the heavy cream over low speed. Gradually increase the speed of the mixer as the heavy cream incorporates– you don’t want to splash the cream everywhere. Continue mixing on medium speed until the mousse is light and fluffy– about 4 minutes. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Divide the mousse between the jars and place in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour before serving (this will help solidify the mousse). Garnish with chopped peanuts or mini peanut butter cups right before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Oreo substitute: I’m using Oreo crumbs to make the cookie crust but you could use chocolate graham crackers or another kind of cookie, or leave the crumble out entirely.
- Use softened cream cheese. Cream cheese adds richness and tang to the mousse. Make sure it’s fully softened or you’ll end up with lumps in your mousse.
- What kind of peanut butter to use: I recommend a classic creamy peanut butter (not an all natural brand) as all natural peanut butter tends to be wetter and results in a softer mousse.
