Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Milk (or heavy cream)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter together using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into the bowl to remove any lumps. Add the salt at this stage.
Step 3
Mix the dry ingredients into the butter and peanut butter mixture on a low speed, gradually increasing the speed as it incorporates, until the mixture is combined and crumbly.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk (or heavy cream) to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until the frosting starts to come together.
Step 5
Continue adding milk, one tablespoon at a time, beating on medium-high speed, until the frosting reaches your desired creamy and spreadable consistency.
Step 6
Stop the mixer and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 7
Once fully mixed and creamy, use the frosting immediately to decorate your baked goods, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using, allow refrigerated frosting to come to room temperature and beat it again to regain its creamy texture.
