Chocolate - Peanut butter frosting

Ingredients

  • Peanut Butter frosting
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces milk chocolate, melted
  • Powdered sugar
  • Milk

Preparation

Step 1

Allow cream cheese to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Beat in enough milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until frosting reaches piping consistency. Divide frosting into two portions. Set one portion aside for Chocolate Frosting (see recipe, below).

Beat the Peanut Butter Frosting and milk chocolate with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. If necessary, beat in additional powdered sugar or milk until frosting reaches a piping consistency. Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
