Peanut Butter Cream Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together cream cheese and peanut butter with mixer until smooth.
• Add vanilla and powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, along with the milk or cream and beat until spreading consistency.
• (I used only 3 cups powdered sugar and 2-3 tbsp. of milk).
• Spread on cooled cake.

Steps:

• Cream butter and peanut butter together.
• Add half the powdered sugar and blend.
• Blend in milk and vanilla.
• Add remaining powdered sugar.
• Stir until smooth and well blended.

Steps:

• In standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat butter and peanut butter at medium-high speed until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add confectioners' sugar and salt; beat at medium-low speed until most of the sugar is moistened, about 45 seconds. Scrape down bowl and beat at medium speed until mixture is fully combined, about 15 seconds; scrape bowl, add vanilla and heavy cream, and beat at medium speed until incorporated, about 10 seconds, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down bowl once or twice.

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, and line the bottom of each with a round piece of parchment. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together onto a piece of parchment or into a large bowl.
• Beat the butter, brown sugar, peanut butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, and add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just combined.
• Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Invert each onto a cooling rack, and remove the parchment. (The cakes can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 day.)
• For the buttercream: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan large enough to hold the heatproof bowl of a stand mixer above the water.
• Whisk together the granulated sugar, egg whites and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water, and whisk until the mixture is warm to the touch and the sugar has completely dissolved. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat at medium-high speed until cool and the whites hold stiff peaks, about 5 minutes. Beat in 3/4 cup of the peanut butter until smooth. Beat in a couple of chunks of butter at a time, making sure the pieces are incorporated before adding more. Continue beating on medium-high speed until the buttercream thickens into stiff peaks. (The mixture at some point may appear to be very liquidy, but continue to beat.) Beat in the vanilla.
• To assemble: Slice each cake in half, for a total of 4 cake rounds. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup peanut butter on 3 of the rounds, dividing evenly. Put 1 round, peanut butter-side up, on a cake stand or serving platter, and spread about 3/4 cup of the buttercream on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around. Repeat with 2 more layers of peanut-buttered cake and buttercream. Place the last cake round (without the peanut butter) on top. Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream. Refrigerate the cake until it sets up (this makes it possible to cut neat slices), at least 4 hours up to overnight. Sprinkle the top with peanut brittle before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Place the butter and peanut butter into a medium bowl, and beat with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in the sugar, and when it starts to get thick, incorporate milk one tablespoon at a time until all of the sugar is mixed in and the frosting is thick and spreadable. Beat for at least 3 minutes for it to get good and fluffy.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in 1/2 of the confectioner's sugar. Mix in 1/4 cup of the cream. Beat in the remaining confectioners' sugar. If necessary, add a little more cream or milk until the frosting reaches a good spreading consistency. Makes enough to frost one 2 layer 9 inch cake or one 9x13 inch cake.

Steps:

• Cream peanut butter and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed. On low speed, mix in sugar until combined, then beat mixture on high speed until fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste, if desired. Use immediately.

Steps:

• Whip peanut butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, brown sugar, and butter together in a mixing bowl until creamy. Mix in milk, a few drops at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream, confectioners' sugar and peanut butter until stiff peaks form.

Steps:

• Beat butters together with electric mixer, add sugar.
• If too thick, add a little milk.

Steps:

• Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and no longer gritty, about 5 minutes. Add peanut butter, cream, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until frosting is well-mixed and smooth, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer frosting to an airtight container and refrigerate until firm, 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in milk and vanilla until smooth.,

Steps:

• Stir flour into milk.
• Cook on low heat in a small saucepan until boiling, stirring constantly.
• Transfer to a small bowl.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let cool on the counter-top for 30 minutes.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and beat with a hand-mixer until fluffy.
• Store in the fridge.
• *Variations* A softened 8-oz. block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese may be beaten in for a richer frosting. Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder can be added a tablespoonful at a time until desired flavor/color has been achieved. This produces a rich-tasting chocolate/peanut butter frosting.

Steps:

• Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Add peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt; beat until incorporated. Slowly pour confectioners' sugar into peanut butter mixture while continuing to beat with the mixer; add milk until desired thickness is reached.
