Bakery Style Peanut Butter Buttercream

Honestly, is there any better flavor combination than peanut butter and chocolate? I created this rich, smooth, creamy peanut butter buttercream to make a Reese’s cake for my husband a few years back, and it has become one of my most asked for icing flavors. It makes the literal perfect coating to a moist chocolate cake, or mix it up and do a peanut butter and jelly flavor! The recipe comes together in minutes and makes you look like a pro baker, even if you aren’t!

The first thing you will do is add your softened butter (I use half salted, half unsalted) and peanut butter to your Stand mixer, fitted with a whisk attachment. 

Butter and peanut butter in a mixer bowl

Turn the mixer on, medium-high, and whip it until creamy and fully incorporated. Add the salt and vanilla and mix those in, too!

Cream butter and peanut butter together
Alternate adding a cup of powdered sugar and a tbsp of whipping cream at a time, mixer on medium-low, and scraping the sides as needed. Start with the powdered sugar and end with cream. Once you have added all of your ingredients, scrape the sides of your bowl. Turn the mixer on high and whip it until light and fluffy!

If that doesn’t look like a little kiss from heaven, right in your mixing bowl, I don’t know what does! Now go ahead and fight the urge to sit there and eat it straight with a spoon.

It glides right onto a cake for the smoothest of finishes. You could also pipe it onto cupcakes or brownies, too! So. Good!

I personally like to add Reese’s cups and Reese’s Pieces with mine. And that milk chocolate ganache, too!

Equipment

  • Whip on medium-high until light and creamy, pausing to scrape the sides.

  • Once you have added all of your ingredients, scrape the sides of your bowl. Turn the mixer on high and whip it until light and fluffy!
  • Spread or pipe onto your cakes, cupcakes, brownies and more! Whatever your heart desires. Fight the urge to sit and eat it with a spoon.

Probably the funniest moment of our entire #Disney Probably the funniest moment of our entire #Disney trip 🤣. Jesse was way more her jam. She did eventually hug him when mom and dad joined. Has your kid ever been SO not into something that you thought they would love??

Emmarie Faith 🤍. It took us quite a while to se Emmarie Faith 🤍. It took us quite a while to settle on this one, but it couldn’t be more perfect. My Grandma Tucker- who I loved so very much- was named Emma Marie. My Granddaddy lovingly called her ‘Rie. So this name spelling is a special nod to her. Pronounced like “Emory” but spelled with sentiment. We are so excited to meet this sweet girl in just a couple of months!

They may remember, they may not. But this past wee They may remember, they may not. But this past week of memories is something I will cherish for a lifetime, and has been more than worth every penny we saved and worked hard for to make this happen. If you’re on the fence…just take the trip. You will not regret it 🤍
