Peanut Butter Frosting

This may be the first peanut butter frosting recipe I've posted, but it won't be the last, I'm sure. I'm always on the lookout for new recipes for this treat. Sometimes I improvise and make a tiny amount of peanut butter frosting just to eat for fun. The stuff is so good! It's candy in a bowl.

What You'll Need:

6 oz cream cheese, room temperature

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup heavy cream

How to Make It:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy. Add the salt and peanut butter, and beat to combine. Beat in the vanilla. In another bowl, beat or whisk the heavy cream until medium-stiff peaks form when you pull the beaters away from the cream (with the mixer turned off, of course.) Fold the cream into the peanut butter mixture. Use the frosting immediately, or refrigerate, covered tightly, for up to 2 days. Bring the frosting to room temperature before using, and stir it with a rubber spatula until smooth.
