Amazing Peanut Butter Frosting
This is the perfect peanut butter frosting. It is sweet and creamy, with that perfect peanut butter flavor. Use it on cupcakes, cakes, and so much more!
Servings 3 cups
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter at room temperature can use salted or unsalted. I use salted because it is what I often have.
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt (if using unsalted butter)
- 2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer and the beater attachment, add your butter and peanut butter and cream it until it is well incorporated.
- Add the vanilla (and salt if needed) and continue to mix.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed.
- Once it has all been added, whisk on high for 1-2 minutes to make it more light and fluffy. If you find it a little thick you can add one teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of heavy cream too reach your desired consistency.
- Store in an airtight container or serve on your favorite cakes and cupcakes. You can store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for 3 months.
- If you do this, you need to let it thaw and come to room temperature before mixing it up again to make it nice and fluffy.
