Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons Milk
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, start by creaming the unsalted butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until it is smooth and fluffy. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the creamy peanut butter to the creamed butter. Continue to blend the mixture on medium speed until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed initially to prevent the sugar from scattering. Once the sugar is mixed in, increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until smooth and combined.
Step 4
Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
Step 5
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and beat on medium speed. Keep adding milk until the icing reaches your desired consistency. For a stiffer icing, use less milk. For a softer, more spreadable icing, use the full amount of milk.
Step 6
Once the desired consistency is reached, increase the mixer speed to high and beat for another minute until the icing is light and fluffy.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. If not using right away, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let it come to room temperature before using.
