I like this Peanut Butter, Nutella Mousse best after a few days in the fridge. Great toppings are crushed nuts, dark chocolate shavings or cinnamon.
Learning Time
Fun educational activities and/or questions to do with little ones while preparing this recipe.
This recipe get’s done really fast and while sometimes we may be doing it because we have no time other times we may select to do it just because it’s yummy. It’s at does moments when we can invited the little ones and extend the time just a bit by having the children do most of the work since they love to “help”
- Have children help you get the ingredients, if ingredients are not at child’s reach get them out and then ask for them one by one as if you have to move them from one place to another.
- Talk about the temperatures of the different ingredients (some are cold others are at room temperature)
- Child may help beat cream cheese after a bit soft
- Include small talk about the colors of the ingredients and the resulting color when mixing ingredients.
Little ones can always learn something new, help them along the way.
And by the way they will feel awesome knowing that they helped make the dessert, they will even brag about it with others.
