The Best Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting

It tastes like whipped cream but frosts like buttercream and has the perfect amount of rich Peanut Butter flavor. Peanut Butter lovers, The Best Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting is for you!

Peanut Butter is delicious – our Peanut Butter Buttercream is one of our most popular frosting recipes.  It is thick and rich and delicious. But some types of baked goods call for a lighter touch and when that is the case you should reach for this The Best Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting recipe. Light and airy like Whipped Cream but chock full of peanut butter flavor.   So yummy!

Our Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting starts with powdered sugar, instant pudding and Peanut Powder.  You can find Peanut Powder in the baking aisle of most grocery stores or here on Amazon. Peanut Powder is made from peanuts that have been crushed and pressed to remove all the peanut oil.

Add the Peanut Powder, powdered sugar and the salt together and mix with a spoon until they are fully combined.

For best results, put a stainless steel mixing bowl in the freezer for at least an hour prior to making your Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting and then pour the whipping cream into the cold bowl.  

 

When the Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting starts to come together, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides.  Also check to make sure the pudding hasn’t clumped on the bottom. Fold the mixture a couple of times with a spoon.  Turn the mixer back on for just a few revolutions.  DO NOT OVER MIX or you will end up with Peanut Butter flavored butter!  If the frosting gets too thick add a little bit of milk 1 teaspoon at a time.  The frosting might taste a tiny bit grainy. That is the pudding mix and it will dissolve pretty quickly.

 

 

How much frosting will you need?  That always depends on how thick or thin you apply the frosting or how much decorating you do but here are a couple of guidelines. Our recipe should make enough The Best Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting to cover a 9″ x 13″ sheet cake or a two-layer 8″ cake.  If you are making cupcakes, you should be able to frost 24 cupcakes if you apply the frosting with a knife.  If you swirl on the frosting with a pastry bag like we have done here, you should be able to frost 15-18 cupcakes depending on the size of the swirl.

This is a very yummy frosting – light, fresh and chock full of peanut butter flavor.
