Ingredients

  • 1 pound butter softened
  • cup peanut butter natural
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
  • Beat the ingredients together on low speed, until the powdered sugar is slightly incorporated. Then turn speed up to medium. Break after about 30 seconds to scrape down the bowl (sides and bottom), then beat again for at least 30 more seconds, or until everything is well-combined.
  • Use the frosting to decorate your cake, cupcakes, or other treats immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Make it dairy-free: use a vegan butter and coconut cream to make this buttercream dairy free.
