Chocolate peanut butter frosting is a rich and decadent treat that can be used to top cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts. It is also a great filling for sandwiches and pastries. Traditional chocolate peanut butter frosting recipes often contain dairy products, such as butter, milk, and cream cheese. However, it is possible to make a delicious and creamy chocolate peanut butter frosting without any animal products. Vegan chocolate peanut butter frosting is made with plant-based ingredients, such as coconut oil, almond milk, and vegan cream cheese. It is just as delicious and satisfying as traditional frosting, but it is also dairy-free, egg-free, and cholesterol-free.

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 and 1/2 cups (420g) confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (41g) unsweetened natural or dutch-process cocoa powder
3 Tablespoons (45ml) heavy cream or milk
1/3 (80g) cup creamy peanut butter*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until combined. Add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin or another 1-2 Tablespoons of cream/milk if frosting is too thick. Taste. Add a spoonful of extra peanut butter or a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Frost your cake, cupcake, or confection however you'd like. In the pictured cupcakes, I piped a basic tall swirl using (affiliate link) Ateco 849 piping tip.
  • Use immediately or cover tightly and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. After freezing, thaw in the refrigerator then beat the frosting on medium speed for a few seconds so it's creamy again. After thawing or refrigerating, beating in a splash of heavy cream or milk will help thin the frosting out again, if needed.
