Peanut Butter Fluff
A delicious low carb dessert that will satisfy a sweet tooth!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter preferably unsweetened with no additives
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1-2 tbsp honey or a low-carb sweetener of your choice, like erythritol or stevia. I try to avoid most artificial sweeteners. Leave the sweetener out if you dare!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
- Pinch of salt optional, but helps balance sweetness
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Mix Peanut Butter & Cream Cheese: In a separate bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Sweeten: Add honey (or your chosen low-carb sweetener), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the peanut butter-cream cheese mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter and cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much; you want it to stay light and fluffy.
- Chill: Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve & Enjoy: You can top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or even a few crushed nuts and/or chocolate chips for some crunch if you’d like.
- Optional Add-ins:
- A few dark chocolate chips (look for ones with a high cocoa percentage and low sugar) Lily's
- Chopped peanuts, almonds or pecans for a little crunch
- A drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup on top
- This dessert is rich, creamy, and has that perfect peanut butter flavor with just a hint of sweetness and spice. Low-carb but indulgent!
