Ingredients
1/2
cup unsalted
butter, softened
1
cup creamy
peanut butter
2
cups powdered
sugar, sifted
3
tablespoons heavy
cream
1
teaspoon vanilla
extract
1/4
teaspoon fine
sea salt
Instructions
Place softened butter and creamy peanut butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Beat on medium speed for approximately 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and lightened in color.
Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture.
While mixing on low, slowly add the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip the frosting for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
Adjust consistency if necessary: add more cream for a thinner frosting or more powdered sugar for a stiffer piping consistency.
