Pinch of salt

Adjust Texture:

Add milk gradually (1 tbsp at a time) and blend until you get a thick, silky mousse consistency.

For a true “peanut butter cup” taste, blend in melted dark chocolate or swirl it in after blending.

Chill:

Transfer to serving bowls and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to thicken and enhance flavor.
