Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 1 minute
Serves: 4
Ingredients:

- 1 t. real vanilla extract, divided
- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- ¾ c. natural sugar-free peanut butter, room temperature
- ¼ t. salt
- 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 c. roasted peanuts, chopped
Directions:
- Combine the heavy whipping cream, one tablespoon honey, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer or immersion blender until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl while blending to incorporate all ingredients. Set aside.
