  • 8 tbsp butter, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  • Using a hand mixer, cream butter and peanut butter together in a large bowl. Use medium speed setting. 
  • Add in vanilla extract, confectioners' sugar, salt, and a splash of heavy cream which should be about 1 tablespoon. Adjust mixer speed to high speed and mix well until ingredients are combined well and frosting looks fluffy.
