An ultra rich, creamy and fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe that will knock your socks off! Our easy to make frosting is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, whoopie pies, and so much more!
- ▢
- ▢ 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
- ▢ 1/2 cup no-stir creamy peanut butter
- ▢ 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ▢ 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ▢ 3 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
Combine butter and peanut butter in a mixing bowl.
Beat together with a hand mixer, until light and fluffy.
Scrape down sides of bowl and add 1/2 cup sugar at a time, until all sugar has been added.
Add vanilla, salt and heavy cream and continue to beat frosting until light and fluffy.
**Makes 3 cups (each serving is 1/4 cup)**
Tips and Tricks for Success
- Sift the powdered sugar!!…and do it before measuring our the 2 cups! This will ensure you have a rich and cream frosting without lumps and that isn’t overly sweet.
- Don’t over-whip the butter and peanut butter together, which will cause the frosting to separate.
- Use a no-stir peanut butter to achieve the best texture.
- Don’t skip out on the salt. It will really help to balance the flavors out.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer (with a paddle attachment) to save on arm strength and for the best consistency!
