Peanut Butter Cookie Mousse Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cookie cake: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, about 1 minute. Add the egg, vanilla, milk, baking soda, and salt, and mix until combined. Slowly add the flour, and mix until the dough just comes together, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Stir in the M&Ms or chocolate chips.
• Spray a 9- or 10-inch round cake pan with cooking spray, or line with foil and spray with cooking spray for easy removal and cleanup. Press the dough into the pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the dough is cold, bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Let cool completely before frosting.
• For the frosting: Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix in the salt, vanilla, and 2 teaspoons of the milk. Add the remaining 2 or 3 teaspoons milk as needed to reach the desired consistency.
• Place the frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a 1M tip, and frost the outer ring of the cake. Dust with sprinkles if using.

Steps:

• Make peanut butter mousse:
• Crush cookies in food processor and set aside.
• Soften cream cheese, add peanut butter, and mix well. Add powdered sugar. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into peanut mixture and set aside.
• Make ganache:
• Place chocolate chips in bowl and set aside. Heat heavy cream until it starts to boil. Pour over chips and stir.
• Assembly:
• Use an 8-inch springform pan. As a first layer, spread half of the cookie crumbs on bottom, then pour on a thin layer (about 1/3) of ganache, enough just to hold cookie crumbs. Place half of the peanut butter mousse in the pan and spread over the ganache. Place the remaining cookie crumbs on top of the mousse. Place a third of the chocolate on top of the mousse. Place remaining mousse in pan, and finish cake with remaining ganache. Place in freezer for one hour. Remove from freezer, take out of pan, and serve.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Blend cookies, sugar and cinnamon in processor to fine crumbs. Add melted butter and blend well using on/off turns. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and up sides of 10-inch-diameter springform pan. Bake until crust starts to puff and darkens slightly, about 15 minutes. Cool.
• For filling:
• Using electric mixer, beat peanut butter and cream cheese in large bowl to blend. Add powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract and beat until well blended. Using clean dry beaters, beat 2 cups whipping cream in medium bowl until stiff peaks form; fold into peanut butter mixture in 4 additions. Spoon filling into prepared crust.
• For topping:
• Combine 1/2 cup cream, 1/4 cup sugar and espresso powder in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until espresso powder and sugar dissolve and mixture comes to simmer. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool topping 5 minutes. Spread topping evenly over filling. Refrigerate cake until cold, about 4 hours. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover cake and keep refrigerated.) Serve cake chilled.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, warm the peanut butter and milk then whisk to combine. In a mixer with a whip attachment, whip the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until medium peaks. Bloom the gelatin in the water and add to the warm peanut butter. Strain into a bowl and fold in the whipped cream mixture. Pour into flexi dome molds and freeze overnight.
• Pop the frozen peanut butter mousses out of the molds and place on a wire icing rack. Ladle the ganache over to coat. Remove from the rack with a spatula and place on parchment paper in the refrigerator until set, about 10 minutes.
• Garnish mousse with a pinch of chopped peanuts on the top and serve with caramel red wine sauce.
• Heat the cream and pour over the chopped chocolate. Whisk to combine.
• In a saucepan boil sugar and water together to make a light caramel. With a wooden spoon stir in the red wine, slowly. Chill.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine cookie crumbs, 1/2 cup peanuts, and butter; mix well. Press into bottom of an ungreased 10-inch springform pan. Bake 15 minutes; let cool. In a medium bowl, beat 1-1/2 cups heavy cream until stiff; set aside. In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla; mix well. Fold in whipped cream and pour into cooled crust. Refrigerate 2 hours, or until set. In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and remaining heavy cream over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Mix until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Cool 3 to 5 minutes then spread evenly over peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle with remaining peanuts. Cover and chill at least 4 hours, or until set.
