- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Beat Peanut Butter and Butter: In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar while mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud. Increase the speed and beat until fluffy.
- Incorporate Flavorings: Add the vanilla extract, salt, and 2 tablespoons of cream. Beat until smooth. Adjust the cream as needed for desired consistency.
- Use or Store: Use immediately to frost baked goods or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Re-whip if chilled before using.
