Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 tablespoons butter at cool room temperature
  • 1/2 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter at room temperature
  • 2 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk or heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add butter and beat until creamy.
  2. Add in peanut butter, and beat on medium until well-combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla.
  4. Beat on low for 30 seconds, or until powdered sugar is just combined.
  5. Increase speed to medium, and continue beating until frosting is well-combined.
  6. Add additional milk as necessary to get the desired consistency.

Notes

  • Butter: I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the frosting.
  • Peanut butter: Use a regular peanut butter, like Skippy or Jif.
  • Powdered sugar: Powdered sugar is also known as confectioner's sugar. If your powdered sugar is lumpy, sift it before using.
  • Milk or cream: Using heavy cream will give you lighter, fluffier frosting.
