Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons almond milk
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter and vegan butter. Both should be at room temperature to ensure easy mixing.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the peanut butter and vegan butter together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing for another minute until well incorporated.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent a sugar dust cloud. Once combined, increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the icing is thick and smooth.
Pour in the almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The icing should be thick but spreadable.
Add a pinch of salt and mix briefly to evenly distribute the flavor.
Use the icing immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. If not using immediately, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Let it sit at room temperature and re-whip before using if stored.
