Description

  1. This creamy and decadent peanut butter frosting is the perfect topping for cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. With a rich peanut butter flavor and smooth texture, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s simple to make!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar

  • ½ cup butter (room temperature)

  • 2 tablespoons milk

  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Beat Butter and Peanut Butter:
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add Sugar and Milk:
    Gradually add the confectioners sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

  3. Add Vanilla:
    Stir in the vanilla extract and continue to mix until the frosting is light and fluffy.

  4. Frost Your Favorite Dessert:
    Spread the peanut butter frosting generously on cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust Consistency: If the frosting is too thick, add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until it’s spreadable. If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar to thicken.

  • Flavor Variations: For a chocolate twist, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder, or for a salted caramel flavor, add a pinch of sea salt.
