Peanut Butter Frosting image

If you like peanut butter you'll love this frosting, great on chocolate cakes but for a real peanut butter experience try it on a peanut butter cake. If you don't have cream, you may substitute milk.

Provided by Suzanne Stull

Categories     Desserts     Frostings and Icings

Time 15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 4

½ cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup cream

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in 1/2 of the confectioner's sugar. Mix in 1/4 cup of the cream. Beat in the remaining confectioners' sugar. If necessary, add a little more cream or milk until the frosting reaches a good spreading consistency. Makes enough to frost one 2 layer 9 inch cake or one 9x13 inch cake.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of nut butter: The type of nut butter you use will affect the flavor and texture of the icing. Creamier nut butters, such as cashew or almond butter, will result in a smoother icing, while chunkier nut butters, such as peanut butter, will give the icing a more rustic texture.
  • Use softened butter: Softened butter will help to create a smooth and creamy icing. If your butter is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and may cause the icing to curdle.
  • Add a little bit of liquid: A little bit of liquid, such as milk or water, will help to thin out the icing and make it easier to spread. You can also use a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vanilla extract to add flavor.
  • Don't overmix the icing: Overmixing the icing can cause it to become stiff and grainy. Mix the icing just until it is smooth and well combined.
  • Chill the icing before using: Chilling the icing before using will help it to set and makes it easier to spread. If you are using the icing on a cake, chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before frosting.

Conclusion:

Nut butter icing is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a smooth and creamy icing or a more rustic texture, there is a nut butter icing recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a tasty and easy-to-make frosting, give nut butter icing a try.
