Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 Cups Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 Cup Unsalted Butter *2 sticks
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2-1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar *sifted
  • 3 Tbsp Whipping Cream

Instructions

  1. Place peanut butter and butter in stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.  Beat together for 3 minutes until smooth and creamy and all butter is incorporated.

  2. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and whipping cream.  Place mixer on low until powdered sugar is incorporated then mix on high approximately 2 minutes until frosting is pale and fluffy scraping down the bowl as necessary. 

  3. If the frosting is too stiff for your liking slowly add whipping cream 1 tbsp at a time.  If it is too thin add powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time until the consistency you need is achieved!

  4. Frosting can be sealed in a container and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.  Bring back to room temperature and mix until fluffy again!
