Servings: 16
Equipment
- electric beaters or stand mixer
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, I use Jif or Skippy Natural
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 9 Tbsp cream or half and half, you may need more or less
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl using electric beaters cream together the soft butter, peanut butter, and salt.
- Working in batches alternately add the sugar, and then the cream or half and half, beating between each addition. You may or may not need all the cream. I always do. You want a creamy smooth fairly loose frosting for piping or spreading.
- Taste the frosting to add salt, if needed.
Notes
I don't sift my powdered sugar unless it is very lumpy.
