This no-bake, freezer-friendly dessert is the perfect treat when you’re craving something creamy, sweet, and satisfying but still want to stay within your SmartPoints budget.

These frozen peanut butter cups are light, refreshing, and incredibly easy to make with just three ingredients: fat-free Cool Whip, PB2 powdered peanut butter, and optional sugar-free chocolate syrup. Each portion-controlled cup delivers a delightful blend of whipped creaminess and nutty richness—making them ideal for hot days, late-night snacks, or even a post-workout treat.

Best of all, this recipe is WW-friendly, low in sugar, low in fat, and freezer-safe—so you can make a batch and keep them on hand for when sweet cravings strike.


Ingredients (Makes 7 Servings)

  • 1 full container (8 oz / 226 g) fat-free Cool Whip
  • 2 tablespoons + 3/4 teaspoon (approx. 2.86 tablespoons) PB2 powdered peanut butter
  • Sugar-free chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzle or swirl)

Note: These measurements create 7 equal frozen cups, ideal for weekly prep and portion control.


Instructions

Step 1: Combine Cool Whip and PB2

In a large mixing bowl, add 1 full container of fat-free Cool Whip and 2.86 tablespoons of PB2 powder. Using a spatula or whisk, mix thoroughly until the PB2 is fully incorporated into the Cool Whip. The mixture should be smooth, fluffy, and slightly beige in color from the peanut butter powder.

Step 2: Portion the Mixture

Line a muffin pan with 7 standard cupcake liners. Spoon equal portions of the peanut butter whip mixture into each liner, filling them evenly.

Step 3: Optional Chocolate Drizzle

If desired, top each cup with a swirl or light drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup. This step adds flavor and flair but keeps the recipe low in SmartPoints when using calorie-free chocolate syrup brands.

Step 4: Freeze

Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 4 to 5 hours, or until the cups are completely firm. They should have a consistency similar to ice cream when frozen.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Once fully frozen, remove a peanut butter whip cup from the freezer and enjoy straight away for a refreshing bite. If preferred, allow it to thaw for 2–3 minutes for a slightly softer texture.

Why This Recipe Works

This recipe uses the science of volume and flavor balance to keep SmartPoints low while delivering taste and satisfaction. The PB2 powder (a defatted peanut powder) offers all the nutty flavor of traditional peanut butter but with a fraction of the fat and calories. Combined with the fat-free Cool Whip, it creates a rich-tasting treat that doesn’t weigh you down.

The ability to freeze the mixture not only adds convenience but also transforms it into a refreshing, ice cream-like dessert—ideal for warmer weather or just a cool ending to your meal.
