• Over-whipping—If you whip your cream too much, it will become grainy and pour out of the bowl.
• Ingredients are not at the right temperature – If the peanut butter is already runny, you can skip this step. Once the peanut butter is warm, let it cool down a bit before adding the cream.
• The cream wasn't whipped enough. If you don't whip the cream to stiff peaks, the mousse won't set.
• When you don't chill the mousse, you should put it in the fridge for at least 25 minutes before serving.
