Naturally sweetened with dates and made without any butter, this healthy peanut butter cream cheese frosting is still thick, fluffy, and sweet enough to satisfy all your sugar cravings.
Start by taking the cream cheese out of the fridge so it has a chance to soften—this makes blending much easier. Cut it into quarters and set it aside.
Add the pitted dates to a food processor along with 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of room temperature water, the vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides, until the mixture is nice and smooth.
Add in the softened cream cheese and peanut butter, and blend again until light, fluffy, and fully combined. If you’d like a thicker consistency, pop the frosting into the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes to help it firm up a bit.
