Frosting Ingredients
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter and smooth peanut butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar in increments of 1/2 cup, beating well after each addition to ensure it is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add Milk and Vanilla: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, then continue to beat the mixture until the frosting becomes smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add additional milk one tablespoon at a time just until desired spreading consistency is reached.
- Frost Your Cake: Immediately use the peanut butter frosting to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods. Spread evenly with a spatula and enjoy your tasty creation.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for the best texture.
- If frosting is too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar to thicken it.
- For a more intense peanut flavor, you can add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before use.
