For the filling

1. Combine the 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and 1/4 cup sugar substitute in mixing bowl. With the whip attachment, mix on med-high speed until soft peaks form. The cream can be beaten by hand in a stainless steel bowl with a wire whisk.

1. Remove the cream from mixing bowl and scrape clean. There is no need to wash the bowl
2. Combine the cream cheese, peanut butter, and 1 cup sugar substitute in mixing bowl. With the whip attachment beat the mixture first on low, scraping the bowl as you go, until mixture is combined. 
3. Increase speed to med-high and whip until peanut butter/cream cheese mixture is smooth

4) Add the lightly whipped cream back to the mixing bowl. Whip on medium until completely incorporated.
