Notes

  • Use smooth peanut butter for the creamiest texture.
  • All ingredients must be at room temperature because they blend together better this way.
  • For a hint of chocolate, you can mix in some cocoa powder.
  • To make a sweet and salty flavor, add ½ teaspoon salt or use half salted butter and half unsalted. 
  • If icing is too thick, add more heavy cream or milk.
  • If icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • For best results, please don't eyeball anything and use measuring cups. 
  • Read additional tips and variations above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
