Why These Ingredients Matter

Lang’s Chocolates Fillable Chocolate Dessert Cups

Our dessert cups are designed specifically for filled desserts like mousse, custards, and creams. Their thin chocolate shell delivers a clean snap, while the ribbed design provides visual appeal and built-in portion control for retail displays, events, and plated desserts.

Heavy Whipping Cream

When whipped, heavy cream creates the airy structure of the mousse, balancing the richness of peanut butter without making the filling feel dense.

Natural Peanut Butter

Provides authentic roasted peanut flavor and healthy fats. Using no-sugar-added peanut butter keeps the sweetness controlled and the flavor clean.

Keystone Pantry Allulose

Allulose dissolves completely and stays smooth when chilled, making it ideal for mousse fillings. It avoids the grainy texture and cooling effect common with other sugar substitutes.

Vanilla Extract & Sea Salt

Vanilla enhances overall flavor depth, while a pinch of salt sharpens the peanut notes and balances sweetness.

Crushed Roasted Peanuts

Adds crunchy texture and visual contrast, elevating the dessert with a finished, gourmet look.

Instructions

1. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk peanut butter, powdered allulose, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in two additions.
4. Spoon or pipe the mousse into the chocolate dessert cups, filling just below the rim.
5. Top with crushed peanuts and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
