# Chef's Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in ten minutes flat but tastes like you spent hours
  • The texture is impossibly light yet satisfyingly rich
02 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend together much more smoothly than cold ones
  • The mousse keeps beautifully in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, if it lasts that long
03 -
  • For extra richness, stir in a tablespoon of softened cream cheese with the peanut butter base
  • A swirl of chocolate syrup between layers makes it look completely impressive
