Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 can | Marshmallow cream |
| 1/2 cup | Creamy peanut butter |
| 1/3 cup | Butter or margarine |
| 1/4 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1 1/3 cups | Confectioners’ sugar |
| 2-3 tbsp | Half-and-half cream or milk |
Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer set to low speed, blend together the marshmallow cream, creamy peanut butter, and butter (or margarine) until thoroughly combined.
-
Increase the mixer speed to medium and gradually add in the confectioners’ sugar and salt, alternating with the half-and-half cream (or milk). Continue mixing until the frosting reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency, adding more milk as needed to achieve the desired texture.
-
Beat in the vanilla extract until well incorporated, ensuring a flavorful finish to your fluffy masterpiece.
-
This recipe yields approximately 2 cups of frosting, which is ample to generously fill and frost two 8-inch or 9-inch cake layers.
Tips:
-
For an extra decadent twist, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the frosting mixture for a chocolate-flavored variation.
-
If you prefer a firmer frosting for piping decorations, refrigerate the frosting for 30 minutes to 1 hour before use, then allow it to come to room temperature for easier spreading.
-
Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before using, let it come to room temperature and give it a quick stir to restore its creamy texture.
Indulge in the irresistible allure of this Fluffernutter Frosting, and prepare to be swept away on a cloud of sweet, fluffy bliss with every decadent bite! 🍰✨
