Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting With Milk Chocolate Drizzle
It takes less than 10 minutes to make the frosting. The milk chocolate drizzle also takes less than 10 minutes. I can make both in about 15 minutes. Makes enough frosting for a two layer cake or about 24 cupcakes with generous frosting (the only way I like 'em!) I also love this frosting on apples or graham crackers.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip, beat the butter and powdered sugar on high until creamed.
Add the heavy cream and beat on medium-low until combined.
Add the peanut butter and vanilla. Beat on high, scraping sides of bowl as needed until frosting is light and fluffy and completely mixed.
To make the Milk Chocolate Drizzle: Before starting the drizzle frost your cake or cupcakes because the drizzle needs to go on hot as soon as it is done.
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat add the butter, milk and cocoa. Whisk until the mixture comes to a simmer and then simmer for 30 seconds.
Remove pan from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until no lumps remain. Whisk in vanilla and drizzle hot over frosted cake or cupcakes.
