Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 180 grams creamy peanut butter
- 240 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream (or milk), and a pinch of salt, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more heavy cream (or milk) if the frosting is too thick, or more powdered sugar if it’s too thin.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
