Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Make sure to use a natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils to keep the frosting paleo-friendly.
Step 2
Add 0.25 cup of coconut cream to the bowl. To obtain coconut cream, you can use a can of full-fat coconut milk and scoop the cream part off the top, leaving the liquid behind. This helps achieve a creamy texture while keeping it paleo.
Step 3
Stir in 2 tablespoons of raw honey. If you prefer the frosting less sweet, you can start with 1 tablespoon and adjust the sweetness to taste.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 0.25 teaspoon of sea salt to enhance the flavors. The salt also balances the sweetness.
Step 5
Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is well-blended and has a creamy consistency.
Step 6
Taste the frosting. If it's not sweet enough, add a bit more honey, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired sweetness is achieved.
Step 7
Once you have the preferred texture and taste, use the frosting immediately on your desired dessert. It pairs well with cakes, cupcakes, or even as a fruit dip.
Step 8
If storing, place the frosting in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week. Before using, allow it to come to room temperature and mix thoroughly until smooth.
