In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Make sure to use a natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils to keep the frosting paleo-friendly.
Add 0.25 cup of coconut cream to the bowl. To obtain coconut cream, you can use a can of full-fat coconut milk and scoop the cream part off the top, leaving the liquid behind. This helps achieve a creamy texture while keeping it paleo.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of raw honey. If you prefer the frosting less sweet, you can start with 1 tablespoon and adjust the sweetness to taste.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 0.25 teaspoon of sea salt to enhance the flavors. The salt also balances the sweetness.
Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is well-blended and has a creamy consistency.
Taste the frosting. If it's not sweet enough, add a bit more honey, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired sweetness is achieved.
Once you have the preferred texture and taste, use the frosting immediately on your desired dessert. It pairs well with cakes, cupcakes, or even as a fruit dip.
If storing, place the frosting in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week. Before using, allow it to come to room temperature and mix thoroughly until smooth.
