If you are searching for a silky-smooth peanut butter frosting recipe, look no further. This simple 5-minute recipe can transform your favorite chocolate cakes or cupcakes into divine, delicious treats!

How to make Peanut Butter Frosting?

All you need is a good creamy peanut butter from your grocery store. Unfortunately, home-made peanut butter does not work as the oil remains separate and does not make for a creamy frosting. This frosting recipe does not need a lot of sugar and the heavy cream helps give a light, fluffy texture. Here is the step-by-step method for the creamiest peanut butter frosting.

Notes

You can generously frost 12 cupcakes or lightly frost 24 cupcakes. It will also frost a 9 x 13 sheet cake or a 2-layer round 9" cake. It is best to use a commercial creamy peanut butter brand instead of a natural or organic brand to avoid separating and curdling.
