Tips and Tricks for Success
Storage Instructions
If using peanut butter frosting within the same day, store it in an airtight container and place in a cool, dry place (at room temperature) out of direct sunlight.
If using after 24 hours, store frosting in an airtight container, with plastic wrap directly over the frosting and refrigerate. When ready to use, allow frosting to sit out for 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer frosting to a mixing bowl and rewhip with a hag mixer until light and fluffy (making sure not to over-whip frosting).
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!
