Ingredients:
For the Crust:
-
1/2 pack of Oreo cookies crushed
-
1/4 cup butter, melted
For the peanut butter mousse:
-
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
-
4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
-
1 tsp vanilla
-
3 Tbs milk
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
-
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold
For the chocolate mousse:
-
1 1/4 cup heavy cream
-
6 oz semi sweet chocolate
-
1/2 tsp gelatin
-
2 Tbs butter
Instructions:
For the crust:
-
Crush or chop the Oreos in a food processor until they are finely ground. Add melted butter, and press into the bottom and sides of an 8 inch sping-form pan. Set aside or refrigerate until the peanut butter mousse is ready.
For the peanut butter mousse:
-
Place the peanut butter, cream cheese, vanilla and milk into a large mixing bowl. Beat by with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Set aside.
-
Place whipping cream into a separate mixing bowl. Beat until whipped cream holds stiff peaks.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to form a light, airy mousse. Over working the mousse will cause the whipped cream to deflate so use a light hand! Scrap the mousse into the bottom of the prepared cookie crust and smooth it out. Refrigerate until the chocolate mousse is ready.
For the chocolate mousse:
-
Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler.
-
Allow to cool to just above body temperature.
-
Mix 1/4 cup cream with gelatin and let set to bloom for 10 minutes.
-
Stir the cream and gelatin mixture into the melted chocolate.
-
Whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
-
Fold the heavy cream into the chocolate mixture.
-
Scrap the mousse into the cookie crust on top of the peanut butter mousse. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Server with chocolate curls and whipped cream.
