Equipment

  • large bowl
  • pan
  • mixer

Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 4 oz butter softened
  • 1 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup Swerve Confectioners plus more if desired

Chocolate Topping

  • ¼ cup refined coconut oil melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoon cocoa powder preferably Dutch-process
  • 5 tablespoon Swerve Confectioners

Instructions
 

How to Make the Peanut Butter Base

  • Combine cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter in a large bowl. Beat together until smooth. Add Swerve and beat again until smooth and well-combined. Taste and add more Swerve Confectioners if desired.
  • Line a pan with wax or parchment paper and spread mixture evenly into the pan, making the top as smooth as possible.
  • Freeze for 30 minutes. A few minutes before getting it out of the freezer, make the chocolate topping.

How to Make the Chocolate Topping

  • Mix all ingredients. (Note that the coconut oil should be melted, and the topping should be made right before adding it to the base; otherwise, it will begin to firm up.)

How to Make the Final Dessert

  • Remove the peanut butter base from the freezer. If there are any ridges on the top, smooth them a bit with the back of a spoon.
  • Pour chocolate topping on top, as evenly as possible, tilting the pan if necessary.
  • Chill in the fridge for ten minutes or until the topping has fully hardened.
  • Remove pan from the fridge, remove dessert from pan, and cut into 30 pieces. (If you have a hard time cutting it, let it thaw slightly on the counter. You can also warm the tip of your knife in hot water.)
