Keto peanut butter mousse for true peanut butter lovers that lives a keto lifestyle. A smooth, fluffy mousse with only 5 ingredients and 5g net carbs per serving. It’s easy to make and oh so delicious!
Mousse is amazing! One thing I didn’t have to give up when I started keto. Fluffy, smooth and creamy the chocolate and peanut butter mousse are what I consider high class dessert classics. My chocolate mousse was a go to but now since I created peanut butter it has a run for it’s money. Topping the keto dessert off with sugar free whipped cream and chocolate chips or shavings really tackles those sweet cravings. All while keeping my low carb and sugar free with this dessert that’s loaded with fat.
Is Peanut Butter Keto Friendly
Yes, it is but be careful. Most peanut butters come loaded with sugar. Look for sugar free organic versions. Some come with or without salts and read ingredients because some use oils to help make it smoother. Anyone with peanut allergies stay away.

How To Make Keto Peanut Butter Mousse
You’ll need gelatin to help stabilize this no bake keto mousse recipe. You can skip it but only if you don’t like your mousse firm.
Bloom the gelatin then set to the side. Grab heavy cream, sour cream and peanut butter. You want a powdered sweetener. If you follow me you’ll know Allumonk is my go to powdered sweetener.
With a hand mixer, blend the peanut butter and powdered sweetener together. Next, add in vanilla extract and sour cream. Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10 seconds. Then, pour in peanut butter mix and blend it until smooth.
In a separate bowl, blend the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Then, add in the peanut butter mix and on a low speed combine the two until the mousse is even. Fold over if some parts don’t mix well.
Finally, cover then place in the refrigerator for an hour, then serve.
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Don’t overheat gelatin. Ten seconds is the max you don’t want to melt your heavy cream when added.
- Sub almond butter for peanut butter? Sure, go for it! Any nut butter will work well in this recipe.
- Add chocolate, whipped cream or both to really bump up the recipe. Chocolate and peanut butter will always be classics.

It was delicious!!! Only thing I’m going to try changing up next time is halving the amount of sweetener. Thank you for the amazing recipe!
I don’t have a microwave, so what is the best way to loom the gelatin?
TIA!

You can heat the water over the stove, a microwave isn’t needed, it’s just faster.
