peanut butter frosting 277x300 Dreamy Peanut Buttercream Frosting Say hello to this amazing frosting.  You won’t believe how easy it is. With just a few ingredients and an electric mixer, you can whip this up in no time. The best part is, most of the ingredients are probably in your cabinets already (maybe not the cream, but you can’t make magic without some effort!).

I have been using the leftovers to discover its many uses this afternoon.  It’s great spread on Oreos (even though I don’t even like Oreos, I like them now), it’s wonderful eaten with a spoon, and it also makes a divine topping for brownies.

Piled atop a soft chocolate cupcake is probably the most sublime way to enjoy it.

If you need a great recipe for chocolate cupcakes, try this recipe by Julie.

Dreamy Peanut Buttercream Frosting

1/2 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter (I use All-Natural Jif or Skippy)
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
pinch kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup heavy cream

In a medium size bowl, use an electric mixer to combine peanut butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add in a little cream and beat until smooth. Add a little more cream, and beat until smooth. Repeat until all cream is incorporated. If you have a whisk attachment, switch to the whisk attachment and whisk until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Spread on whatever you want, and refrigerate whatever is left.
