Easy to make and tastes great! My mother was a very young bride at the end of the Great Depression. She learned to make do with less. This frosting can be used between 2 graham crackers to make easy and fast cookies or to frost a cake.
Start with about 1/2 to 1 cup of peanut butter either chunky or smooth). Add enough powdered sugar to taste, cream together with enough hot coffee to melt the powdered sugar.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can use more or less of any of the ingredients depending on the size of the cake or quantity of cookies. Store any leftover frosting in a freezer-safe container for later use.
It comes out tasting a bit like mocha or German chocolate frosting. It's a hit with our family!

I love peanut butter. When I was a child I would go to my aunt's and she would have peanut butter cake; it was so good. She passed away a few years ago and I had never gotten the recipe for peanut butter frosting.
This is a recipe form my great Grandmother. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together all dry ingredients, set to side.

I make a peanut butter frosting from scratch and was wondering if I could add cream cheese to make the frosting a wee bit more sturdy, yet tasteful.
Cream cheese is one of the top food requirements and most recipes can benefit! Your frosting will be thicker and will also have a richer taste.
I add 2 ounces of cream cheese to p.b. frosting for a small single layer cake. If using a double layer, use 4 oz. I have experimented with an 8 oz. but was not pleased with the flavor. Hope this helps!
I haven't added cream cheese to peanut butter, but I don't see why you shouldn't. I often add cream cheese to my chocolate frosting which is divine!
I want to say you guys printed a set of frosting recipes a while back and 1 of them was peanut butter I am looking for that one again. Help.
