Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3–4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp milk or heavy cream (as needed)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, beat butter and peanut butter on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 1 minute, until smooth and fluffy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on low until fully combined, scraping down sides as needed.
If frosting is too thick, add milk or cream 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Use immediately to frost cupcakes, cakes, brownies, or cookies. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For a chocolate-peanut butter frosting, add 2 tbsp cocoa powder.
Swap some powdered sugar for honey for natural sweetness.
Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
Add a pinch of flaky sea salt for a sweet-and-salty finish.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days; re-whip before using.
