Creamy & Dreamy Peanut Butter Frosting
Equipment
- Handheld or Stand Mixer
Ingredients
- 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature (71g)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (250g, like Jif or Skippy for best texture)
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar (120g)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream at room temperature (80ml)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prep Your Mixer: Grab your handheld or stand mixer and attach the paddle or whisk.
- Cream the Butter: Beat the softened butter on medium speed until it's light and creamy, which usually takes about 2 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Whip to Perfection: Once everything is in, increase the mixer speed to high and beat for a full 3 minutes. This will make your frosting incredibly light and fluffy!
- Adjust as Needed: If you find your frosting a bit too thin, you can add up to 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar, a little at a time. If it's too thick, simply add another Tablespoon of heavy cream.
- Store It: Cover your finished frosting tightly and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
Notes
Cover your finished frosting tightly and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
