Peanut Butter Cheesecake Mousse (Low Carb & Sugar Free)

Light, Fluffy & Delicious little parfaits
topped with chocolate chips or grated chocolate.
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1/4 cup + 1/2 tablespoon (1 1/2 teaspoons) natural peanut butter (sugar free)
2/3 cup Lakanto Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) sugar free chocolate chips (optional)**
3 -4 tablespoons grated sugar free chocolate bar (optional)

Method:
Place a medium mixing bowl in the freezer to chill. 
Add the cream cheese, peanut butter, sweetener and vanilla to a separate mixing bowl. Beat until thoroughly blended, smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Add the cream to the chilled bowl and whip at high speed until soft peaks form (& hold their shape). 

Combine the whipped cream and peanut butter mixture, on low speed, until all of the ingredients are well blended.  Divide the mousse into 6 parfait cups. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. If desired, garnish with chocolate chips or grated chocolate. Makes 6 servings.

**I used Lily's sugar free milk chocolate chips.

Nutritional info per serving,(without garnish) approximately:
334 calories ~ 33.7 grams fat ~ 3.47 grams net carbs ~ 6.5 grams protein

Nutritional info per serving, (with Lily's chocolate chips) approximately:
71 calories ~ 35.7 grams fat ~ 6 grams net carbs ~ 7 grams protein

Notes: This Mousse is so delicious, light and fluffy! It also is quite rich, so I was very satisfied with just half of one serving. Which cut the net carbs in half, too. My husband said it was "excellent".
