Looking for a dessert that provides the WOW! factor but is also secretly good for you too? This peanut butter chocolate mousse cake is full of healthy fats, carbs and protein.
Our version of creating a fun and healthy Reese’s Pieces inspired cake without all those processed ingredients.
This recipe was hard to keep away from you. We’re super excited to share today’s recipe with you.
I (Michelle) was a huge Reese’s Pieces fan growing up. And I have always wanted to create more fun ways to enjoy the classic flavors of peanut butter and chocolate together. Our family loves this flavor combo. They were the inspiration for this dessert. Ever since making our 4 ingredient peanut butter cookies (they can be enjoyed unbaked) and our peanut butter fudge we wanted to create something phenomenal with those two recipes. Enter: Reese’s Pieces inspired fudge cake.
I avoided peanuts for a long time due to health and digestive issues. But I am happy to say so far my skin and body are handling peanuts without a problem. I don’t have them everyday, so the days I have some I really make it count. I am grateful for my healing journey because it allowed me to be able to enjoy peanuts again. This cake was everything I dreamed of and more. I hope you like it.
The ultimate grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free reese’s pieces protein peanut butter fudge cake.

YUM! Reese’s are my favorite candy!
Mine too.
Wow, talk about incredible! This dessert looks amazing!! I just made a vegan peanut butter pie for my husband’s birthday. But I didn’t actually tell him it was vegan! (Shh, he still doesn’t know and has been eating it for two days!) 😀
Nice.:)
You can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate together, especially when it’s in this amazing mousse cake! Seriously drooling! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Agreed.
oh DO I LIKE chocolate and peanut butter <33
Wish we could send you some.
Hmmm, I wish I could just order this and have it shipped! 😉
Wish we could ship it 🙂
Looks great, but I am curious, is it possible to make it without coconut? I am allergic to coconut so I can’t use it at all, and am curious how I could make it and still have it healthy without it.
There really isn’t anything to sub the coconut with. The only thing that might work is cashews.
Is there a sub for maple syrup?
You can use honey or coconut nectar.
