Peanut Butter Frosting

This frosting was served at a recent Maximized Living dessert night on top of Decadent Chocolate Cake made without sugar, artificial sweeteners, or grains.  The Decadent Chocolate Cake is not to be believed until it is tried.  It is sooo yummy!  The recipe is available on the famous Kimberly Roberto's blog at smartmeals.wordpress.com.  

Ingredients

1 cup organic (raw if possible) whipping cream

4 ounces organic (raw if possible) cream cheese, softened

1/2  cup of valencia natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons organic butter, softened

1/2 cup Xylitol or Swerve

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

While softening the butter and cream cheese, put the mixing bowl and beaters you will be using for the whipping cream in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes.

Then beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.  In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, butter, xylitol or swerve and vanilla until smooth.  Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until mixed.  Frost cake.  Refrigerate the cake if you ar not going to eat it right away.  Can be eaten cold, but my family enjoys better if it has been sitting out at room temperature for 30- 40 minutes before eating.
