Creamy Peanut Butter Icing

Recipe View 4 mins In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Recipe View 2 mins Add the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Continue beating on medium speed until well combined and smooth, approximately 1-2 minutes.

Recipe View 5 mins With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar to the peanut butter mixture, one cup at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next. This will prevent a cloud of sugar from erupting.

Recipe View 2 mins Slowly pour in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on low speed. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the icing is smooth, creamy, and reaches your desired consistency. You may need to add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, to achieve the perfect spreadable texture. (1-2 minutes)

Recipe View 1 mins Taste and adjust the flavor as needed. If you prefer a more intense peanut butter flavor, add an additional tablespoon or two of peanut butter. If the icing is too sweet, add a pinch more salt. (1 minute)
