Notes
Ingredient Notes:
- Do not use light cream cheese.
- Do not use natural or chunky peanut butter, this will alter the texture and stability of the frosting. I prefer Jif Creamy.
Instruction Notes:
- Frosting can be made with a hand mixer but will not be as whipped. If using a hand mixer, I would recommend using whipped cream cheese instead of a regular block.
- Add additional cream or confectioners sugar as needed to reach desired consistency.
