Peanut butter frosting is an easy-to-make, delicious topping that can be used on a variety of baked goods such as cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. It is a perfect way to add a nutty and sweet flavor to your desserts. In this article, we will discuss how to prepare peanut butter frosting from scratch.

Ingredients

Before we delve into the preparation process, let us go through the ingredients that we will need. You will require the following:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter

• 4 cups powdered sugar

• 2-3 tablespoons milk

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Begin by making sure your butter is at room temperature. The butter needs to be softened to allow easy mixing. You can either leave the butter out at room temperature for a few hours, or you can microwave it for about 15 seconds at a time until it becomes slightly soft.

2. Add the butter to a large bowl and use an electric mixer set on medium speed to beat it until it becomes light and creamy.

3. Next, add the peanut butter and continue beating the mixture on a medium speed setting until it is smooth and well-combined.

4. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter and butter mixture, one cup at a time, while beating it on low speed. Ensure that you mix well after each addition until all of the powdered sugar has been incorporated.

5. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, while beating the mixture continuously. You can add more or less milk depending on the desired consistency. A little more milk will give you a soft and fluffy consistency, while a little less will result in a firmer texture.

6. Finally, add the vanilla extract and beat the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.

7. Taste the peanut butter frosting for sweetness. If you want it sweeter, add a little more powdered sugar. Conversely, if you want it less sweet, add less powdered sugar.

8. Your peanut butter frosting is now ready to use.

Notes

• It is recommended to use creamy peanut butter to create a smooth and creamy frosting.

• If you prefer a more intense peanut flavor, you can add a little more peanut butter, but keep in mind it will change the consistency of the frosting.

• To store the peanut butter frosting, you can keep it covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
