  • 1 pint homemade dark chocolate mousse (click on the link for the recipe)
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 8 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, warm
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped peanuts, previously roasted
  • 1 culinary blow torch

Directions

  1. 1
    {"0":"peanut butter cream:","2":"In bowl, combine mascarpone and 6 tbsp powdered sugar & beat for 2 minutes until texture is smooth & creamy. Divide mascarpone into 2 bowls, two-thirds in one and one-third in the other. In one bowl, mix warm peanut butter with 2\/3 of the mascarpone cream. In other bowl, mix remaining mascarpone with vanilla extract.","4":"Clean mixer blades in hot soapy water. Make sure beater blades are completely clean prior to whipping cream. The whipping cream should be whipped cold. Whisk heavy cream for about 2 minutes at low. Add remaining powdered sugar & increase speed of mixer & keep beating for another 2-3 minutes until it forms soft peaks. Don't overbeat or the texture will become grainy.","6":"Using a silicone spatula, mix 1\/3 of the whipped cream with peanut mascarpone to soften it. Add another 1\/3 of the whipped cream & gently fold in cream to get an airy batter. Plastic-wrap & chill peanut butter cream in refrigerator until ready to assemble.","8":"Fold the rest of the whipped cream into the vanilla-flavored mascarpone cream.","10":"For the graham crakers: Crush the graham crackers down to a coarse crumb. It's ok if there are some larger crumbs.","12":"Assembly time:","13":"Line up the verrine glasses. Pipe or spoon a thin layer of vanilla mascarpone cream in. Repeat same procedure with a thick layer of chocolate mousse. Add a layer of graham crackers. Lastly, fill the cup with a small amount of peanut butter cream, leaving about 1\/4-inch of head space for mashmallow cream. Cover with plastic wrap and place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours.","15":"When serving, unwrap the desserts and fill the top with marshmallow cream. Use a spreader to remove the excess cream. Caramelize the top with culinary torch until the marshmallow forms a golden brown crust and starts to bubble. The marshmallow will caramelize and can burn fast, so watch it carefully as it changes color until the crust is formed. Garnish with a few chopped peanuts."}
