Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of vegan butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the vegan butter and peanut butter. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until light and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Once all the sugar has been added, beat on high for 1 minute until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Use room temperature vegan butter: To smoothly incorporate into a fluffy peanut butter frosting. It should be soft enough to leave an indent when pressed, without sinking into it. If it’s too warm, chill it until firmer.
- To quickly soften vegan butter: Grate it and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Use creamy peanut butter: Natural peanut butter (with an oily top layer) will create a heavier, oilier frosting and can curdle.
