Serving Suggestions and Variations
How to Serve
- Enjoy straight from the freezer for a creamy, fudge-filled bite.
- Pair with a smoothie or fresh fruit.
- Serve alongside a lighter dessert like blueberry cottage cheese ice cream.
Fun Variations
| Variation | What to Try |
|---|---|
| Nut-Free Version | Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed or almond butter. |
| Protein Boost | Add 1 scoop chocolate protein powder to the mousse base—like I do in my peanut butter oatmeal banana bread bars). |

Tips for Success
