-Peanut butter: We need 2 cups of peanut butter and I highly recommend you use creamy, but natural peanut butter is okay too. You may have to adjust the powdered sugar to get your desired consistency if you use a “wetter” peanut butter variety.
-Cream cheese: We need an entire block (8 ounces of softened cream cheese). You could also use Neufchatel which is a lower fat version of cream cheese. It’s naturally softer and usually even cheaper in the grocery stores too!
-Brown sugar: This adds a little color, sweetness, and depth of flavor thanks to the molasses. We need ¼ cup.
-Butter: Use 4 tablespoons of real butter, not margarine!
-Confectioners sugar: Also known as powdered sugar, you can sift it for a smoother frosting texture, but it’s not necessary.
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER CREAM CHEESE FROSTING?
Beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl.
Slowly beat in the powdered sugar until everything is well blended.
Frost the tops of your favorite cakes, cupcakes, or cookies as desired.
