Description

This peanut butter frosting, made with four ingredients, is creamy, fluffy, and the perfect topping for fudge brownies, cupcakes, and chocolate cake.

Ingredients

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

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Beat peanut butter and butter in a medium bowl until creamy and combined.
3 Gradually blend in sugar; when the mixture thickens, begin incorporating milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is thick and spreadable.

5 Use it to frost a peanut butter cake, pipe it onto chocolate cupcakes, or spread it on cookies or brownies.
