# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes with zero cooking required
  • The texture is impossibly light but still delivers that intense peanut butter punch
02 -
  • Room temperature peanut butter blends infinitely better than cold, straight from the fridge stuff
  • The mousse firms up considerably after chilling, so don't panic if it seems soft going into the fridge
03 -
  • A silicone spatula works better than metal ones for folding, as it gently moves through the mixture without deflating it
  • If your mousse feels too stiff after chilling, let it sit on the counter for ten minutes before serving
