Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and whip it using an electric mixer on medium speed until it is creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the creamy unsweetened peanut butter to the whipped butter. Continue beating on medium speed until well combined, about another minute.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the peanut butter and butter mixture. Mix on low speed to avoid powder clouding, then increase to medium speed once incorporated and mix until fully blended.
Pour in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a small pinch of salt. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed until the frosting is fluffy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a small amount of powdered erythritol, then beat again to combine.
Use immediately to frost your favorite low-carb cakes, cupcakes, or desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
