- In a large bowl, cream shortening and butter with the electric mixer. Add peanut butter and vanilla.
- Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl often.
- When all the sugar has been mixed in, the frosting will appear dry. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, and beat at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Notes
-
- Keep frosting covered with a damp cloth until ready to pipe the frosting or spread it.
- To store: For best results, do not leave sitting at room temperature for too long and store the mixture in the refrigerator when not in use. The mixture can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to re-whip the mixture thoroughly before using.
