How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream
Prepare all the products: the cream should be well chilled, and melt the chocolate in a water bath or in any way convenient for you.
Peanut butter can be taken ready-made or use my step-by-step recipe, which you will find by clicking on the link in the ingredients.
We begin to whip the cream with powdered sugar. You can not add all the powder at once in order to adjust the cream for sweetness at the end. For whipping, you need a deep container, because at first the cream splashes a lot. Start beating at medium speed to reduce splatter.
The cream begins to thicken - you can switch to a high whipping speed. We have reached soft peaks - the cream is already thick at this stage, but the relief mark from the mixer does not remain on the surface. This whipped cream is perfect for adding to mousses.
But we need to achieve a relief mark on the surface and sharp peaks - then our cream will keep its shape well. How whipped cream looks at this stage can be seen in the photo.
Now, add chocolate and peanut butter.
Mix with a spatula or at the lowest speed of the mixer. You do not need to beat - just mix until smooth. Taste the cream for sweetness, if necessary, add powdered sugar and mix.
Delicious, very delicate and airy creamy chocolate cream made from peanut butter is ready to use. I will tell you a secret that I use this cream to prepare a very tasty and delicate chocolate sponge cake with creamy chocolate peanut cream .
I note that if you add dissolved gelatin to it, you get a delicious chocolate-peanut mousse. Sweet masterpieces!
