This is very good and very easy, but needs a tad more sweetness. Part of the problem could be that I used an organic peanut butter without the additives contained in a spread like Jif (recommended in the recipe)--but I'd much prefer to add a but more sweetness and avoid the additives. The amount is just right to fill a nine inch tart or pie pan.

This came together easily, and it was the easiest mousse I have ever made. The taste was peanut buttery, but also very light and airy. It had a very good texture, but I could have mixed it longer, I did not see that the ingredients were not homogeneous until serving it. It did shrink on the second day, so it would be preferable to serve it when first made.

Thanks so much for the photo- I don't think I ever focused on the fact that this tart has two layers, a peanut butter mousse and a chocolate ganache topping. Your photo made me realize my oversight. Looks great, I'm looking forward to trying this one.

You are very welcome. I am trying to get better about taking and including pictures.
