Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 9 tablespoons cream or half-and-half (adjust as needed)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, and salt together until smooth and well combined.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with cream or half-and-half, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Continue beating until the frosting is light, creamy, and smooth.
  4. Adjust consistency by adding more cream for a softer texture or more powdered sugar for a thicker frosting.
  5. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  6. Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or brownies.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • For chocolate variation, mix in cocoa powder.

  • Re-whip after storage for best texture.
