Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods. In fact, I think I ate it so much growing up that my body started telling me to slow my consumption. There would be days in college that I’d put peanut butter in my oatmeal at breakfast, peanut butter in my smoothie at lunch, then have a peanut butter and jelly wrap at dinner. Whoops. What can I say! I love this creamy, salty nut butter.

So why then, I ask, not make it into a healthy, 3-ingredient mousse so I can put it on everything? That’s what I want to know!

The basis of this recipe is simple:

Coconut whipped cream + peanut butter + sweetener of choice

I went for agave nectar, but you could also use maple syrup, powdered sugar, or stevia for a lighter option.

Whip, whip, whip. Then bring on the peanut butter!

This delicious spread doubles as both a stand-alone dessert – peanut butter mousse – as well as a healthier peanut butter frosting. I would put this on brownies, muffins or cupcakes and go to town. Another option? Protein-boosted fruit dip! Put this on a banana and experience instant bliss. Go wild and put it on everything (including drinking chocolate for the win – yeah I said it).

Dig in!
