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 flavors and sweetness in addition to bringing a new texture to the dessert it is topping.

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.

    This is THE BEST Peanut Butter Frosting EVER! Seriously. It’s not overly sweet and not overwhelmingly peanut buttery. It’s the PERFECT combination! It was delicious even when I put it on brownies made from a box! My non-peanut butter loving daughter loved it, so you KNOW it was a hit!5 stars
