Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and peanut butter together on medium speed until fully combined and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, to the bowl. Mix on low speed to prevent the sugar from flying out of the bowl, then increase to medium speed until fully incorporated.
Once all the powdered sugar is mixed in, add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt.
Beat the mixture on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Use the frosting immediately to ice cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and beat for 1 minute before using if refrigerated.
