I am so beyond thrilled with how this ultra fluffy, creamy Peanut Butter Frosting turned out! With just six ingredients and about ten minutes of work you will find yourself piping this onto cakes, swiping it over brownies, and (let’s be honest) eating it straight off the spoon.
Fluffy, creamy, not too sweet, and peanut buttery without being pushy about it. Every photo you see here, I piled it on my Hershey’s chocolate cake. Is there any better match for this frosting? I think not!
This is the peanut butter frosting I put on everything chocolate in my kitchen. It spreads easily, but it also pipes up into proper pillowy piles for a cake. And it all comes together in about ten minutes with a mixer and a bowl.

I’ve been making this Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting for years now and I’ll admit that it’s pretty awesome. But what I have really been wanting lately is a fluffy, creamy, light peanut butter frosting and I’ve nailed that with this peanut butter frosting recipe. I’m giddy over this, my friends!
