In my family, we buy bagels and cream cheese together. I will eat cream cheese with everything bagels, but for every other kind of bagel, I use butter. So then, we have a dilemma. How do we use up the cream cheese? I found a quick and easy answer: the recipe below! Side note: I altered someone else's recipe, but my whole family liked it, so I thought I would share it. :D Also, this recipe was for keto cookie dough, but I think of it more as fat bombs.
Ingredients:
8oz cream cheese (softened)
3 Tbsp butter (softened)
2 Tbsp peanut butter
1/4 cup swerve/ stevia mix
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: keto friendly chocolate chips (I did not have these at the moment, so I made mine without it.)
Instructions:
- Grab a mixer
- Cut the softened butter and cream cheese into squares and dump into bowl
- Add the peanut butter, sweetener, and vanilla to the bowl
- Mix the ingredients on cream butter and sugar mode
- OPTIONAL: if you have chocolate chips stir them in
- Line a cookie tray with parchment paper and scoop TBSPs of the mixture onto the tray
- Slid tray into the freezer and set a timer for an hour
Once timer is up enjoy! But note: DO NOT put the tray back into the freezer if there are leftovers. Instead, place them in the fridge. I made this mistake and it took a while for the middle of the bombs to unfreeze. Anyway, these tasted like awesome peanut butter bombs and my keto parents loved them. Even my sister (non-keto) liked them! Okay, Amber out!
