# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Takes literally ten minutes from start to finish, perfect for sudden cravings or last minute guests
  • The texture is impossibly light and airy while still delivering that rich peanut butter punch everyone craves
02 -
  • Overmixing after adding the Cool Whip will deflate everything and youll end up with dense peanut butter frosting instead of cloud like mousse
  • This actually tastes better after sitting overnight—the flavors meld together into something beyond the sum of its parts
03 -
  • Set out your cream cheese and Cool Whip two hours before you plan to start—room temp ingredients blend seamlessly into silky perfection
  • A light dusting of sea salt over the chocolate garnish cuts through the richness and makes every flavor pop
