Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, grab a mixing bowl and combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. I like to mix these two until they create a smooth paste—this takes about two minutes of vigorous mixing. The sweet smell of peanut butter fills the air, and honestly, it’s hard not to sneak a taste. Once you’ve achieved a lovely, smooth consistency, it’s time to add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract. Fold them into your peanut butter mixture very gently at first until combined, then use your electric mixer for about 2 minutes on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy. Don’t worry if it seems a little soft; it will set up beautifully in the fridge! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
