What You'll Need:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup all-natural peanut butter
- 3/4 cup Swerve Confectioners sugar replacement, divided
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
- 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped and toasted
Let's Get Whipping!
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, half of the Swerve, vanilla extract, and half of the heavy whipping cream. Beat until everything is smooth and well combined. This mixture will be your dreamy base. Be sure everything is at room temperature for a smoother mix.
- Spoon this whipped peanut butter mixture into six small dessert dishes. Pop these into the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight. Chilling them will help them firm up nicely.
- While the cups are chilling, toast the chopped peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly. Set aside to cool.
- Just before serving, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a clean bowl, beat together the remaining Swerve and heavy whipping cream until you get light and fluffy peaks. If you overbeat you'll end up with butter, so watch carefully.
- Take the chilled peanut butter cups out of the refrigerator. Top each with a generous dollop of the freshly made whipped cream and sprinkle with the toasted peanuts. And there you have it - a truly magnificent keto dessert!
