Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened creamy peanut butter
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 0.25 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese. Mix using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Slowly add the powdered erythritol to the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture, beating continuously to ensure even distribution and smoothness.
Step 3
Pour in the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract, and sprinkle in the salt. Continue to beat the mixture on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes, or until the icing becomes fluffy and creamy.
Step 4
Taste the icing and adjust the sweetness or salt as needed, by adding more powdered erythritol or a pinch more salt, mixing well after each addition.
Step 5
Once the icing is creamy and well-blended, use it immediately to frost cupcakes, cakes, or cookies. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated until ready to use, ensuring to bring it to room temperature before spreading.
