Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting

This peanut butter frosting is light and fluffy — the perfect topping for brownies, chocolate cake, and cupcakes. Sweet but not too sweet; peanut buttery but not greasy. This creamy frosting tastes wonderful and won't overpower your chocolate treats!

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Beat peanut butter and butter in a medium bowl until creamy and combined.
Gradually blend in sugar; when the mixture thickens, begin incorporating milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is thick and spreadable.
Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Use it to frost a peanut butter cake, pipe it onto chocolate cupcakes, or spread it on cookies or brownies.
