Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and peanut butter together until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition to avoid powdered sugar flying everywhere.
Step 4
Once all the powdered sugar is mixed in, add the vanilla extract, heavy cream (or milk), and salt.
Step 5
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for 3-4 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and creamy in texture.
Step 6
Taste the frosting and adjust salt or cream amounts, if needed, for your desired consistency and balance of sweetness.
Step 7
Use the frosting immediately to frost cupcakes, cakes, or other desserts, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip if needed before using.
