How to make Peanut Butter Frosting?
All you need is a good creamy peanut butter from your grocery store. Unfortunately, home-made peanut butter does not work as the oil remains separate and does not make for a creamy frosting. This frosting recipe does not need a lot of sugar and the heavy cream helps give a light, fluffy texture. Here is the step-by-step method for the creamiest peanut butter frosting.
Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine the butter and peanut butter in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat it till creamy.
- Gradually add in sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt with the mixer running at low.
- Once all the ingredients are in the bowl and well combined, you can increase the speed of the mixer to high and continue for 2 minutes. Your silky smooth peanut butter frosting is ready to be piped on to cupcakes!
- The frosting can be covered and kept in the fridge for up to a week. Be sure to cool cakes completely before using the peanut butter frosting.
