Since the beginning of keto time, my favorite snack has been something that my husband likes to call “peanut butter delight.” It’s basically peanut butter whipped up with heavy (whipping) cream. If you’re into stevia or new to keto, you can add it, but I don’t. I was pretty satisfied with this recipe by itself for a very long time, but last night I added raspberries and my life changed.

You can hand-whip it if you want, it’ll take a few minutes before it thickens up. Or, if you want to make a big batch, you can use a quick zap of the immersion blender, which I actually recommend buying anyway, for things like cauliflower mash.Admittedly, this is a small serving for most people, but it’s very filling. And for us keto folks it’s a perfect snack. And it’s still a dessert at 4 net carbs, but a tasty snack!

I feel like a simpleton even posting such a simple recipe, but you must try it. This is for one serving but can be adjusted in so many ways.

@Alicia K. It’s not that difficult; just put the whipping cream into a cylinder container that isn’t much larger around than your immersion blender.
