I love dessert! So to say I have a sweet tooth would be an understatement. But I can’t always make dessert all the time, nor do I have a pantry full of ingredients. Luckily I got the idea (they’re rare), how about turning peanut butter into a dessert? Just adding some ingredients here and there and I came up with the whipped peanut butter recipe! It’s super easy, requires a handful of ingredients, and is low in calories too!
Sharing is caring, so come along! Let’s make yummy and sweet whipped peanut butter.
Whipped Peanut Butter Recipe
Ingredients
Method 1
- 1 lb natural peanut butter or freshly ground peanuts
- Stevia to taste (or any other sugar substitute)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Method 2
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
Optional add-ins (These additional flavors can work with both methods)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp powdered cinnamon
Instructions
Method 1
- If you’re preparing peanut butter from scratch make about 1 pound of it
- In a deep bowl place the peanut butter and with an electric mixer start mixing it for a smoother consistency
- Add the olive oil and increase mixing speed
- Add Stevia or sweetener to taste
- Beat all the ingredients at the highest speed till the mixture is smooth and creamy
- Store in a clean container, refrigerate
Method 2
- Measure out the whipping cream into a bowl
- Mix the cream till hard peaks form (stiffened peaks when you pull away from the beater)
- Add a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter (store-bought or homemade)
- Start whipping, the peanut butter will incorporate into the whipping cream
- Taste as you go (but don’t taste too much!)
- You can add any optional ingredients or more peanut butter if you want a creamier spread
- When you see the mixture is smooth, pour it into a container and put it in the fridge
Notes
- Method 2 is not Vegan or Dairy-free
- We recommend using homemade peanut butter over store-bought jars
- We recommend finishing the mixture within 10 days
- Refrigerated whipped peanut butter has a more consistent texture

Health Benefits
Let’s go over some health benefits while we’re still here. Peanut Butter is a great source of Omega-3s and good fats. Homemade peanut butter is better than store-bought as it contains lesser amounts of calories and fats. Studies have shown that peanut butter is the healthiest among the nut butter and has shown to decrease the risk of heart and cardiovascular disease.
Unless you have no other choice but to buy peanut butter, always go for ones that contain no extra fats or sugar.
