Homemade Peanut Butter Frosting

Homemade Peanut Butter Frosting

Get ready to enjoy a frosting that’s as delicious to eat as it is easy to make.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Enough to frost 12-16 cupcakes or one large cake

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Butters: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and creamy peanut butter together until smooth.
  2. Add Sugar: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until well incorporated.
  3. Incorporate Liquids: Slowly add the milk and vanilla extract, then beat on high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Adjust Texture: If necessary, adjust the consistency by adding a little more powdered sugar if the frosting is too thin, or a bit more milk if it's too thick.
  5. Ready to Use: Use the frosting immediately to decorate your desserts, or store it in the refrigerator if not using right away.
