This keto peanut butter mousse one of my favorite fast and fluffy sugar-free desserts! I based it on my cloud-like keto chocolate mousse recipe, but this time with a peanut butter flavor. And it comes together as easily as keto chocolate pudding or strawberry cheesecake fluff. Since it takes just minutes to prep, it’s the perfect keto dessert to make when you need a sweet treat fast.

Most peanut butter mousse recipes are high in carbs and sugar, but this keto mousse uses Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend as a natural sugar replacement. Besti has a fine texture that mixes and sprinkles exactly like powdered sugar (the ONLY allulose-based sweetener with a real powdered sugar texture) — but with zero calories, zero grams of net carbs, and zero glycemic index!

Ingredients & Substitutions

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for this keto peanut butter mousse recipe, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.

• Heavy Cream – Whipping the cream makes the mousse light and fluffy! You can substitute coconut cream, but the recipe would still have dairy, because it has mascarpone in it.
• Peanut Butter – Gives this mousse a nutty flavor. You could use other nut butters such as almond butter, as long as they contain no added sugar.
• Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – If you need to use a different keto sugar substitute, I recommend powdered allulose. Granulated sweeteners, or even powdered sweeteners that contain erythritol (which is most brands of monk fruit and stevia), can lead to a gritty texture.
• Mascarpone Cheese – Makes the mousse so rich and creamy. If you can’t find store-bought, you can make homemade mascarpone cheese or use cream cheese instead. Warm to room temperature so that it blends in smoothly.
• Sugar Free Chocolate Sauce – Optional, for a sweet topping. You could also used chopped peanuts and sugar-free chocolate shavings, as shown in the photos.

How To Make Keto Peanut Butter Mousse

This section shows how to make low carb peanut butter mousse, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.

1. Beat the cream. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Remove 1/4 of the whipped cream and set aside to use later.

TIP: Don’t overmix.

You want soft peaks, not stiff peaks. Soft peaks will form trails, but are not super stiff. If you hold your mixer up, the peaks should curve over.

2. Mix other ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter and mascarpone cheese, until creamy. Stir in powdered Besti, until well blended.

3. Fold in cream. Add the peanut butter mixture to the whipped cream, and gently fold it in.

TIP: Fold, don’t stir!

To keep your mousse fluffy, use a folding motion. This ensures that you don’t break down the whipped cream.

4. Assemble. Scoop the peanut butter mousse into serving dishes and top with chocolate sauce (optional) and a dollop of extra whipped cream.

Variations

Add different ingredients to this keto peanut butter mousse recipe to make it even better! Here are a few ideas:

• Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse – Melt sugar-free chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals and add to your peanut butter and cheese mixture. Works with milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, too! Alternatively, add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the peanut butter mixture at the same time as powderd Besti.
• Add fruit – Swirl in cooked and pureed fruit of your choice after folding in whipped cream. Keto fruits such as raspberries or strawberries work well with the peanut butter flavor. Alternatively, add fruit on top as a garnish.
• Use extracts – Add hazelnut, mint, or vanilla extract to the cream after whipping.
• Make a nut-free version – Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.

Storage Instructions

• Store: Cover peanut butter mousse and store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
• Meal prep: Make keto peanut butter mousse ahead, divide into serving dishes or glass jars, and store in the refrigerator. Wait until right before serving to add any whipped cream topping, if using.
• Freeze: Store in an airtight container, leaving a little room for it to expand, and freeze for 1-2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
