You know you have a problem when all you think about is this Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse Pie. You guys… it’s seriously life changing.
I’m talking, call your BFF right now and tell them you’ve found the perfect recipe for your next party, life changing.
This is my first dessert recipe of 2017! How have I gone this long without sharing something sweet??
I didn’t want to just share any old dessert recipe for my first one of the year, it had to be epic. And this pie is absolutely epic.
Remember my Chocolate Bottomed Peanut Butter Pie? I took that dessert concept and flipped it! So now there is a peanut butter ganache on the bottom and a light and fluffy chocolate mousse on top!
I don’t know which pie I like more, it’s seriously a toss up. They’re both so good!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse Pie
I’m a hardcore peanut butter fan, so the peanut butter ganache that fills the bottom of this pie is probably my favorite. I saved a little bit of the ganache to drizzle over the top of the chocolate mousse too. I know it kind of looks like caramel, doesn’t it? But it’s not!
You’ll want to use those peanut butter morsels that you find by the chocolate morsels for this recipe.
Look how gorgeous that chocolate mousse is!! It’s piled so high, and it’s seriously so light and fluffy!
I used a graham cracker crust for this pie, which just makes it super quick to put together, but a regular pie crust that’s been pre-baked would also work for this recipe.
You’re going to fall in love with this dessert, just like I did. It’s a peanut butter & chocolate dream come true!
