Peanut Butter Cream Dream Dessert

Peanut Butter Cream Dream Dessert 

I love a dessert that I can eat right away and, better yet, that takes five minutes flat to make and enjoy! So tonight I experimented with something new. Tonight I made a Peanut Butter Cream Dream Dessert! 

Ingredients

- 8 oz cream cheese

- 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened, flavored, whatever kind you love!) 

- 1/2 cup butter

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 tsp liquid sweetener 

- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

- soften, or as I do, melt the cream cheese and butter in the microwave for 1-2 mins 

- add the other ingredients and mix with a hand blender 

- add additional liquid sweetener as your taste buds dictate. I used liquid Splenda but you can try your favorite Skinny Syrup too! 

Now, you can eat this Creamy Dreamy Dessert right away OR you can wait until the morning, after it's been sitting in the fridge overnight, for it to become hard and cold, and then indulge at breakfast time (don't judge me!) I ate this right off the spoon, no need for an additional carb to dip into it! 

This dessert is super simple and super divine! It was hard to just eat a few bites and put it away, but I did (proud moment!) I hope you'll try it and love it as much as I did! 

Happy Dreams!

Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cheesecake

I'm not a fan of peanut butter, but you don't have to be to fall in love with this Peanut Butter Cheesecake recipe! The peanut butter isn't overpowering and the dessert bar tastes just right to satisfy your sweet tooth! At least I know it satisfies mine! 

Ingredients:

(for the peanut butter cheesecake bar)

2 8 oz packages of cream cheese

8 tbsp of low carb peanut butter (I use the grocery store brand, no added sugar, which is 6 carbs per serving)

1 cup of Splenda

2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

(for the drizzle topping)

28 grams (40 individual) peanuts crushed. You can place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. 

1 tbsp peanut butter

1 tsp coconut oil 

You can add a piece of sugar free chocolate to the mix if you want, those I chose not to. 

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees

2. Soften the cream cheese in the microwave. I put the two packages in for two minutes and they were perfectly softened. 

3. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and use a hand mixer to mix all together. 

4. Pour mix into a 9x13 baking pan and spread evenly. 

5. Bake for 25 mins

6. While baking, make the drizzle in a small bowl. Add the peanut butter and coconut oil together and melt in the microwave for 30 seconds. 

7. Add in the crushed peanuts and stir thoroughly. The consistency should make a thick, but pourable drizzle. 

8. When the cheesecake is done, pour the drizzle over the whole pan. 

9. Now is the hardest part, you have to wait for about four hours for the cheesecake to hardened and then you can cut into bars, about 3x2.6 in size. 

10. Finally, it's time to enjoy! 

Carb Breakdown:

Without drizzle= 4.8 carbs per bar

With drizzle= 5.3 carbs per bar 

Yay for Low-Carb desserts that are Delicious! Hope you enjoy as much as I do!!
