Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 240 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to cream the unsalted butter and peanut butter together at medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and mix on low speed to incorporate. Once all the powdered sugar has been added, increase the speed to medium and beat until fully combined.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly until incorporated.
Step 4
If the icing is too thick, add the milk one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
Taste the icing and, if needed, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Mix well to incorporate the salt.
Step 6
Use the peanut butter icing immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow it to come to room temperature and mix it again before using if refrigerated.
