Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 cup | Milk |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1/3 tsp | Vanilla |
| 1 cup | Crunchy Peanut Butter |
| 1 cup | Confectioners’ Sugar |
Instructions:
-
Mix together crisco, cocoa, salt, and vanilla: In a mixing bowl, combine the crisco (or shortening), cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or whisk to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
-
Stir in milk: Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring continuously. This will help to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
-
Add the peanut butter: Incorporate the crunchy peanut butter into the mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed. The peanut butter will add a delicious nutty flavor and a hint of texture to the frosting.
-
Mix together well: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps and that all the ingredients are fully blended together.
-
Add confectioners’ sugar one cup at a time: Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar to the mixture, one cup at a time, while continuing to mix on low speed. This will help to sweeten the frosting and thicken it to the desired consistency.
-
Use more milk if needed: If the frosting is too thick, you can add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Conversely, if the frosting is too thin, you can add more confectioners’ sugar to thicken it.
-
It’s better if it is thick: Once you have achieved the perfect consistency, continue mixing for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure everything is well incorporated. The frosting should be thick and creamy, ideal for spreading or piping onto your favorite desserts.
Enjoy this luscious chocolate peanut butter frosting atop cakes, cupcakes, brownies, or cookies for a truly irresistible treat! Share with friends and family, and savor the delectable combination of flavors in every bite.
