Step 1: Cream the Peanut Butter and Butter
In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and softened butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2: Add the Powdered Sugar
Gradually add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition to avoid mess. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Adjust the Consistency
Add the heavy cream (or milk) and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until the frosting reaches your desired consistency—light, fluffy, and spreadable.
If the frosting is too thick, add more cream or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. If it’s too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
Step 4: Add a Pinch of Salt (Optional)
Taste the frosting and, if needed, add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
Step 5: Use and Enjoy
Spread or pipe the frosting onto cooled cakes, cupcakes, or brownies. Decorate as desired and enjoy!
