Ingredients

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.
