Best UNSWEETENED PEANUT BUTTER
Making no bake recipes in the summer is how I like to roll! Actually I like no bake easy keto desserts any time of year and mousse is my favorite!
Nothing artificial, no additives, just simple and spectacular for a mousse that will have even your non sugar-free friends won over!
No Sugar Added Natural Peanut Butter isn't hard to find in most markets today. I usually buy it at Whole Foods, but online through Amazon, this is the Peanut Butter brand I love, nothing but peanuts and salt and super creamy with no added sugar.
SWAPS FOR PEANUT BUTTER
If you're not a fan of peanut butter, you can simply swap the peanut butter mixture with your choice of another nut butter or nut free butter.
Macadamia Butter, Almond butter, Cashew butter or Sunbutter made from sunflower seeds for a nut free version!
PEANUT BUTTER CUP MOUSSE
My boys couldn't try this creamy peanut butter dessert because they have peanut and tree nut allergies but my hubby, sister in law and daughter were the taste testers. Hubby and daughter love peanut butter cups so this was right up their alley!
Hubby said, "You should rename this PEANUT BUTTER CUP MOUSSE because it tastes JUST like one with the toppings!"
He thought is had so much peanut butter flavor and did not notice any aftertaste which seems to always be his problem with stevia when I make a no bake recipe like this.
He was pleasantly surprised since he is a peanut butter lover of all things but not always my keto recipes! My daughter and sister in law absolutely loved it as well! Winning for all of us!
BEST LOW CARB SWEETENERS
All my my low carb desserts are easy to switch out the low carb sweeteners. This easy dessert recipe is a super versatile recipe as far as if you want to skip any sweeteners or just add a little bit, it's totally up to you. Just use a small amount and taste and adjust as you like.
If you're just not a fan of using liquid stevia as I have in this recipe, no problem! One of our newer favorite low carb sweeteners that doesn't leave an aftertaste, is Better than Sugar by Sweetleaf.
They have a confectioners powdered sweetener which would be best for this recipe and they also have a granulated option. It's a combination of erythritol and stevia and has plenty of sweetness as sugar would provide.
Swerve confectioner sweetener is also low carb, but doesn't have as much sweetness and you may need to use a bit more to get this as sweet as you like. Allulose would be another option, but again it isn't as sweet as using the Better than Sugar sweetener.
If you're not wanting to use any erythritol products, Allulose comes in a liquid, which would probably work best in this recipe, but it also comes granulated if you prefer.
I do not recommend any granulated sweetener in this smooth creamy mousse recipe as it will be grainy and that's not good when it comes to a no bake smooth mousse recipe.

Could you make it without the sweetener?
Brenda
Sure!
Shirley
Still making these after all this time, they’re still yummy:)
Cathy
Can you use fat free cool whip ?
Brenda
I guess you could but it's not good for you in the least.
Nancy
I’m really impressed! This has been my first keto dessert! It’s so good! Thank you! I gives me real hope of doing keto at least long enough to lose this weight and get healthier!
Many blessings
Shirley
Can this be frozen? I'd like to make ahead and grab one once in a while. Thank you.
Day Hernández
I would like to know this as well!
Brenda Bennett
I've not tried freezing it, but I think it would work.
Maggie
If using liquid stevia- do not mix with whipping cream - it would not thicken whatsoever! Next time I make it, I will add the better stevia liquid to the cream cheese peanut butter mixture.
The flavour is delicious though and I will make this again.
Also, I made a unbaked walnut crust (to mimic a graham wafer crust). I lined the bottom of bowl style champagne glasses with nut crust and then spooned mousse on top then drizzled melted chocolate on top. Yum! Thanks for recipe ?
TIEN Brown
I don’t have Liquid Stevia , can I substitute it with swerve instead? If so how much?
Brenda
Maybe 1/2 cup Swerve confectioners then taste and adjust.
Danielle Serra
I just wanted to Thank you! I am 36 weeks pregnant and prediabetic. It’s been tough to say the least finding something to satisfy a sweet tooth. I just made this recipe today and it was AMAZING!!!. Plus it was easy to make. I plan on making others and continuing using after I give birth. Thank you for making my life a little easier these last few weeks.
Brenda
Happy you enjoyed it!
Patty
I’m liking the recipe!
Richard Reed
Hello,
I made a double batch and I enjoy it very much. Can you tell me, roughly, in cups, how much 3 ounces is?
Thanks in advance!
Ric
Brenda
A little less than 1/3 cup.
Stephanie
Can I use powdered peanut butter instead? If so how much? I happen to have a large container of it and trying to get the most use out of it. Please let me know!
Brenda
I'm sorry I don't use powdered peanut butter because it contains sugar so not sure how much you could replace it with.
Heather Van Hoof
This is deliciO!
Brenda
thank you!
Sandra West
Hits the spot!
Annette
Thank you Brenda, you're recipes are always so good. This recipe was so delicious I made it exactly as you did. My husband doesn't usually like my desserts but he loved this one. It was so good I hated to share it. LOL
Brenda
Thank you!
Kestrel
So, basically everyone wants a fat free, carb-less, non-legume-peanut mousse with fake sugar that tastes and acts exactly the same as real sugar and it has to be correct down to the tenth of a teaspoon?
Sure. Ok. No biggie.
You know what? This was AWESOME. I made it exactly as you said
Brenda
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Martha Davis
I am a peanut butter fanatic and would love to try this recipe! Unfortunately I also need to watch my fat intake. Do you know if it would be possible to make this with the peanut butter powder that is so popular these days and low fat versions of the other ingredients? Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes; you have given dieting a whole new meaning! 🙂
Brenda
I'm sure you could but I have no idea how much you'd need of the powder to get the same amount of peanut butter here. Also the powdered peanut butter has sugar in it so you would want to either eliminate or reduce the stevia here.
Heather Van Hoof
Low fat products are bad for you. Read Fat for Fuel by Dr. Mercola or Keto Clarity.

How do you calculate the amount of Stevia to use (be it powder or liquid) when baking? Also, i am in search of a stevia product, powder and/or liquid that wont leave that bitter aftertaste and alter the foods but rather one that sweetens like sugar and still taste good in my baking of cookies, cakes etc.
Brenda
Here's my stevia chart: https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/stevia-differences-in-liquid-packets-powdered-pure-a-stevia-conversion-chart/
I like the Sweetleaf brand because I feel it does not leave any aftertaste. I also like using Swerve sweetener which is made with erythritol:https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/what-is-erythritol-a-swerve-give-away/
Often I use a combo of both to balance out the flavors nicely.
Lance
I just can't tolerate Stevia I can taste it through anything. You have any experience using Swerve instead?
Brenda
You certainly could use whatever sweetener you like. Just try a small amount maybe 1/3 cup then taste and adjust. I'd say use the confectioners Swerve not the granular.
Lisa
I use the Now brand and can't tell it's not sugar.
Nancy
I recently found Bocha Sweet. It’s good in this recipe and super good in my coffee! I’m still trying it out but… just food for thought.
Wanda
The recipe is yummy. Who cares about the carbs, they're so minimal and its a treat anyway.
Keep these recipes coming, love your site.

These calculations, especially the carbs, are off.
Peanut Butter - 840 calories, 24 total carbs, 8 fiber
Heavy Cream - 800 calories, 16 total carbs, 0 fiber
Cream Cheese - 400 calories, 4 total carbs, 0 fiber
Totals: 2040 calories, 44 total carbs, 8 fiber, 36 net carbs
Per serving: 340 calories, 6 carbs
Brenda
Where are you getting your nutrition info from? 1 cup of heavy cream has only 6.6 carbs. Check Calorie King, Check Fatsecret, Check nutritiondata.self
Brenda
Mike Roth stabilized creamer with a lot of fillers will have more carbs. Also companies round up on the label so it can be .5 per TBS but they call it one on the label. Calorie king has an average of 6.7g carbs for 16 tablespoons - even less if you go organic. I used Horizon Organic in my recipe. Here's more info on Labeling by the FDA and the rounding rule: https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/LabelingNutrition/ucm064932.htm
Lori
Making tonight! Where are y'all getting any carbs in cream? My carton says zero.
Cathy
Mine does too..
