Step 1

To a medium mixing bowl, add natural peanut butter and powdered sugar. Whip well with an electric mixer so the powdered sugar fully absorbs the peanut butter’s oil. This ensures the oil will not separate from the peanut butter in the future! It will look crumbly at this point, which is normal.

Step 2

Add the softened vegan butter to the peanut butter mixture. Whip starting on a low speed and slowly working up to high. Whip for 1 minute until light and fluffy with no peanut butter flecks remaining.

Step 3

If using immediately, you can leave the frosting at room temperature for up to 1 hour. Or, for later use, place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator so it doesn’t melt. It will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer.

Step 4

When ready to use, let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes and give it a good stir before frosting your cake/cupcakes.
