CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER COCONUT TREAT






CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER COCONUT TREAT

What a treat these are with enough fiber to keep one’s system happy and humming along nicely. Keep them in the freezer or refrigerator.  In the freezer they are more chewy and refrigerated they are creamier and softer combined with the chewy character of the coconut.  This is extremely quick and easy to make and have on hand in a very short time.

4 oz regular cream cheese (125 g)
1/cup sugar-free peanut butter (60 mL)
1/cup powdered erythritol, (75 mL)
  OR to taste
Liquid sweetener (sucralose or stevia), to taste
3/cup vanilla whey protein powder (175 mL)
3/cup desiccated coconut (175 mL)

1 tbsp whipping cream (15 mL)

Using a piece of plastic wrap, press the mixture out evenly. Freeze one hour.  Cut into 25 squares.  Freeze or refrigerate.
