Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

Here’s a silky, creamy, perfectly smooth peanut butter cream cheese frosting that compliments… well… everything!  It’s pipeable, and is great to just eat with a spoon! It's totally keto friendly and low-FODMAP to boot.

When I say ‘creamy’, I’m not kidding! The combination of butter, cream cheese and keto friendly peanut butter makes the texture of this low-carb frosting like silk.  It’s not a super sweet frosting – I only use ¾ cup of powdered sweetener (I like to use Swerve Confectioners as a confectioners sugar substitute).  If you like a sweeter frosting, you can always add more to taste. And, if you're looking for more delicious keto peanut butter treats, try some Flourless Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I originally whipped this up to frost a keto cookie cake.  Who doesn’t love that peanut butter cookie flavor in a cake!  Honestly, you don’t need a cake for this frosting.  I use it on my Easy Keto Brownies and also can’t resist just dunking a spoon into it. 

Even though this peanut butter frosting with cream cheese sets up really well in the fridge, it’s perfect for spreading at room temperature.

I think once you make this recipe, you’ll look for any reason to make more.  But do you really need a reason beyond simply LOVING it?

Yield: 2 cups

Diet:Gluten Free, Vegetarian

Special Diet:Keto, Low-Carb, Low-FODMAP

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• ½ cup butter (1 stick at room temperature)
• ¾ cup peanut butter
• ¾ cup Swerve confectioners sweetener
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon raw cacao powder (optional)

Instructions

 

• Soften the butter and cream cheese to room temperature.
• In a medium sized bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese. I used an electric hand mixer for this.
• Add the peanut butter, vanilla and cacao, if using.
• Add the sweetener about ¼ cup at a time.
• Blend until smooth and creamy.
• At this time, it should be perfect for frosting or piping.  It will set up quickly in the fridge.

Notes

If you like a sweeter frosting, add more sweetener at about a tablespoon at a time.

The raw cacao is optional.  It adds just a touch of flavor and color, but isn't necessary in this recipe.  You can also substitute the raw cacao for cocoa powder.
