A light, fluffy, chocolatey dessert with creamy peanut butter flavour — perfect when you want something sweet without lots of sugar or carbs. This no-bake recipe is easy to prepare and has a mousse-like texture.

Prep time: 10 minutes Chilling time: 30–60 minutes Servings: 2

Ingredients

• • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold and unsweetened

• • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter, unsweetened

• • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• • 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener

• • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

• • A tiny pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Whip the cream

1. 1. Pour the cold whipping cream into a chilled mixing bowl.

1. 1. Beat with a hand mixer for 2–4 minutes until soft peaks form.

1. 1. In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt.

1. 1. Fold in the remaining whipped cream with a spatula.

1. 1. Use gentle movements to keep the mixture light and airy.

Step 4: Chill and serve

1. 1. Spoon the mixture into two small dessert glasses or bowls.

1. 1. Add a light dusting of cocoa powder or a few sugar-free chocolate shavings, if desired.

Approximate nutrition

Values vary by brand and sweetener. Net carbs are calculated as total carbohydrates minus fiber; some sugar alcohols may also affect the calculation depending on the product.

Tips for the best cloud texture

• • For extra fluffiness: Use very cold cream and a chilled bowl.

• • For a stronger chocolate flavour: Add another teaspoon of cocoa powder.

• • For a sweeter dessert: Add sweetener gradually and taste before chilling.

• • For a firmer mousse: Add the optional cream cheese.

• • For fewer carbs: Check that the peanut butter has no added sugar and use an unsweetened cocoa powder.

Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The texture is best when freshly whipped and chilled.
