Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and peanut butter together until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition to avoid powdered sugar flying everywhere.
Once all the powdered sugar is mixed in, add the vanilla extract, heavy cream (or milk), and salt.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for 3-4 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and creamy in texture.
Taste the frosting and adjust salt or cream amounts, if needed, for your desired consistency and balance of sweetness.
Use the frosting immediately to frost cupcakes, cakes, or other desserts, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip if needed before using.
