Here’s a silky, creamy, perfectly smooth peanut buttercream 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 peanut butter makes the texture of this keto peanut buttercream frosting like silk. It’s not a super sweet frosting – I only use ¾ cup of sweetener. If you like a sweeter frosting, you can always add more to taste.
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 frosting sets up really well in the fridge, it’s perfect for piping 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?

Description
Here’s a silky, creamy, perfectly smooth peanut butter buttercream frosting that compliments… well… everything! It’s pipeable, but is great to just eat with a spoon!
Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup of butter (1 stick) at room temperature
3/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup sweetener (I used a combination of stevia and Swerve Confectioners)
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 a hand mixer for this.
Add the peanut butter, vanilla and cacao, if using.
Add the sweetener about 1/4 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.
