- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and well combined to form the mousse base.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.

- Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the mousse is fully set and chilled.
