Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup cream cheese softened or at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients in medium-sized mixing bowl.

  2. Use electric mixer to beat until fluffy and desired frosting consistency is achieved.

  3. Sprinkle frosted cupcakes with unsweetened coconut flakes (safe for dogs) or mini chocolate chips (humans only!!)

Recipe Notes

  • The thickness and consistency of the frosting will depend on the type of peanut butter used. I use a natural peanut butter that is thicker. If frosting seems too thick, add additional milk, 1 tsp at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Frosting is sticky, so I recommend piping rather than spreading to frost.
  • Frosting recipe yields enough to pipe frosting on 12 full-size cupcakes.
  • To keep natural sugar low, I sweetened the frosting with just a tablespoon of honey. My husband thought the frosting was a little too tangy for his liking. Add more honey to taste if you prefer a sweeter frosting.
  • Decorate frosted cupcakes with 1 Scooby-Doo! graham cracker stick and sprinkle with unsweetened coconut flakes and/or mini chocolate chips depending on your audience. (No chocolate for dogs!)
  • Store frosted cupcakes in fridge.
