This Peanut Butter Mousse is one of our favorite ways to introduce peanut butter, which is rich in protein and healthy fat. As your baby gets used to peanut butter, feel free to add in more, but just make sure it is blended well. Keep in mind that in addition to peanut butter, this recipe includes milk, another top allergen, so we recommend offering this recipe after you’ve determined that your baby tolerates dairy. Regular and Greek yogurt both work well in this recipe

FAQs on Peanut Butter Mousse for Baby Led Weaning
1. Can I substitute peanut butter with other nut or seed butters?
Absolutely. While peanut butter offers a distinct flavor, if there are allergy concerns or if you simply want to experiment, almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter can be suitable substitutes. Just remember, always introduce new nuts or seeds slowly to monitor for allergies.

Ensure the mousse is velvety and without lumps. You can achieve this by using a fine sieve or a mesh strainer after blending, and before serving. Always check the consistency before giving it to your little one.
3. Is there a vegan alternative for this mousse?
Certainly! Replace any dairy ingredients with their vegan counterparts such as coconut cream or almond milk. There are also vegan gelatin substitutes available, like agar-agar, which can help get the desired consistency.
4. How long can I store the Peanut Butter Mousse?
For optimal freshness, store the mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure it’s kept at a consistent cool temperature.
5. Can I freeze the mousse for later?
