Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

Peanut Butter Frosting is so fluffy, easy, and delicious that you will find yourself topping everything with it. Cupcakes, cookies, crackers the possibilities are truly endless.

Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

You may have noticed that I am a big fan of condiments and dressings. As far as I’m concerned, frosting is the condiment of the baking world.

The perfect frosting is meant to balance the flavours and sweetness in addition to bringing a new texture to the dessert it is topping.

This Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting goes perfectly with anything chocolate. It is easily spreadable but also pipeable to create pillowing piles of frosting for the perfect accent to a cake.

This recipe will make enough frosting for a two-layer cake. For a pan of brownies or a 9×13 cake, you will want to halve the recipe.

Or, if you’re like my family, you’ll happily make the full recipe and then top graham crackers, cookies, and everything else with the leftover frosting.

 

Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter. Beat with an electric mixer (with the wire whisk attachment for stand mixers) until thoroughly combined.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. The frosting should be thick, creamy, and spreadable. If it becomes too thick to easily spread, add a tablespoon of cream or milk and beat again, adding additional liquid only if necessary.
