Peanut butter cream cheese frosting

Ingredients

• 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, room temperature shop
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter (not natural / oil-separated) shop
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened shop
• 2 cups powdered sugar shop
• 1 tsp vanilla extract shop
• 1 pinch salt shop

Method

1. Cream the bases: with a hand mixer on medium, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter and butter until perfectly smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
2. Incorporate the sugar: turn the mixer to low and add the powdered sugar gradually, about ½ cup at a time, to prevent a mess.
3. Add vanilla and finish: add the vanilla extract and salt, turn the mixer back up to medium-high and whip another 1-2 minutes until light and spreadable.
4. Frost: wait until whatever you are frosting is entirely at room temperature, then spread with a knife or pipe it on.
