PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING



Peanut Butter Frosting image

Use this delicious frosting to decorate our Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ounces cream cheese
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with a mixer on medium speed. Add salt, then peanut butter, then vanilla. Whisk cream until soft peaks form, then fold into peanut butter mixture. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. (Bring to room temperature, and beat on low speed until smooth before using.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The better the peanut butter, the better the frosting will taste. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and no added oils or sugars.
  • Cream the butter and peanut butter together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the frosting and make it smooth and creamy.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually: This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or gritty.
  • Beat the frosting on high speed for several minutes: This will help to make it light and fluffy.
  • Add a splash of milk or cream if the frosting is too thick: This will help to thin it out and make it easier to spread.
  • Flavor the frosting with vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or other desired flavorings: This is a great way to customize the frosting to your liking.
  • Chill the frosting for at least 30 minutes before using: This will help it to set and make it easier to work with.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a peanut butter frosting that is light, fluffy, and full of flavor.
