Preparation time
15min
Ingredients
12 Servings
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 180 grams peanut butter
- 480 grams powdered sugar
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 5 ml vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture at a low speed until fully incorporated.
Step 3
Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and increase the mixer speed to medium-high. Beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
If the frosting is too thick, add a bit more heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Use the frosting immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Allow it to come to room temperature before frosting your cake or cupcakes.
