06 - 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips

02 - Gently fold in the Cool Whip until no streaks remain, taking care not to deflate the mixture.

05 - Before serving, top with chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips, if desired.

01 -

Ten minutes is all it takes from cupboard to satisfied sweet tooth
The texture is impossibly light while still delivering that intense peanut butter punch we secretly crave

02 -

Mixing too vigorously after adding Cool Whip will collapse the air bubbles, making the texture dense instead of dreamy
Powdered sugar is crucial here because granulated sugar leaves a gritty texture that no amount of chilling can fix

03 -

Warm your mixing bowl slightly in hot water and dry thoroughly before starting helps the peanut butter blend more smoothly
Using a light hand during folding is what separates mousse from dense pudding, so slow down and enjoy the process
