Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large mixing bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Using a wooden spoon or a sturdy spatula, mix the ingredients together until thoroughly combined. Continue stirring until the frosting is smooth, creamy, and free of any lumps. (3-5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. If too thin, add a tablespoon of confectioners' sugar until desired consistency is reached. (1-2 minutes)

04

Step
0 mins

Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Alternatively, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

For an extra layer of flavor, try using a natural-style peanut butter that has a slightly roasted flavor.
If you prefer a less sweet frosting, you can reduce the amount of confectioners' sugar by a quarter cup.
For a vegan option, use a plant-based butter substitute and non-dairy milk alternative.

    I was a little skeptical about not using a mixer, but this frosting turned out perfectly smooth and creamy.
