We all know that peanut butter is the perfect compliment to chocolate, but this frosting also makes a really great spread for toast, bagels, pancakes, or waffles and even makes a tasty dip for apple slices.
HOW TO MAKE CREAMY DREAMY PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING
To a large bowl or stand mixer, add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk, and one 8 ounce brick of cream cheese.
Pro Tip: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest texture.
Pro Tip: Sweetened creamy peanut butter is best for this recipe. Chunky or natural peanut butter will not create a smooth texture.
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, mix until smooth and creamy.
This recipe makes approximately 3 cups of frosting, which will frost two 9X13 single layer cakes, one layered cake, or 24 cupcakes.
HOW LONG DOES CREAMY DREAMY PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING LAST
Store your frosting in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks or put in a freezer safe container and keep frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

What is “sweetened” peanut butter?
Check the ingredients on the label. Most peanut butters have sugar in them. Generally speaking, peanut butter labeled “natural” doesn’t include a sweetener which is necessary for this recipe.
Oh My! I could probably eat this by the spoonfuls!! This creamy dreamy frosting would be delicious on pretty much any cake or cookie recipe. One of my favorite flavors is peanut butter so definitely trying this one. Thanks so much for sharing.
