Peanut Butter Frosting

By vpitts2004

Ingredients

• 2 cups (500 mL) confectioner’s (icing) sugar
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) creamy peanut butter
• 2 tbsp (25 mL) milk

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together confectioner’s sugar, butter and salt until creamy. Add peanut butter, beating well. Add milk and beat until smooth and creamy.

2. Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes.



Notes


Store frosting in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use or for up to 2 days. Let soften at room temperature before using.

This frosting can be prepared in a food processor with excellent results.

Regular peanut butter rather than natural-style peanut butter works best in this recipe.
