Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by melting the dark chocolate chips. Place them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
2. 2.
   In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip as it can turn into butter.
3. 3.
   Gently fold in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. It's important to fold rather than stir to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream, ensuring the mousse stays light and fluffy.
4. 4.
   Once the melted chocolate has cooled, fold it into the peanut butter mixture. Be gentle to maintain volume. The mixture should resemble a silky, rich mousse with no streaks of chocolate visible.
5. 5.
   Transfer the mousse into a serving dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow it to set. This helps the mousse firm up while intensifying the flavors. Serve chilled, and enjoy immediately.
