Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth blending and optimal texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter and allow it to soften slightly if refrigerated.
- Open the can of coconut cream and scoop out the thick, solid white cream from the top, discarding any liquid underneath.
- Add the coconut cream to the peanut butter and begin mixing with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed to prevent sugar from flying out of the bowl.
- Once the sugar is incorporated, add the vanilla extract and increase mixer speed to medium-high.
- Beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and fully combined with a smooth, creamy consistency.
- If the frosting seems too thick, add a tablespoon of coconut cream at a time to reach desired spreadability.
- Transfer frosting to a piping bag or use immediately as a spread on cakes, cupcakes, or cookies.
- Store any unused frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing.
- Coconut Cream Technique: When opening the coconut cream can, carefully scoop only the thick white cream from the top for the best consistency.
- Mixing Magic: Start mixing on low speed when adding powdered sugar to prevent a messy sugar explosion in your kitchen.
- Texture Troubleshooting: If the frosting seems too thick, add coconut cream one tablespoon at a time to achieve the perfect spreadable consistency.
- Storage Savvy: Keep any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and it'll stay fresh for up to 5 days.
- Piping Pro Tip: For picture-perfect decorations, use a piping bag and watch your desserts transform into professional-looking masterpieces!
