Pro tip: Ensure the butter is soft for easy mixing.

Add dry ingredients

Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and cocoa powder to the butter, mixing on low speed until combined.

Pro tip: Mix slowly to avoid a cloud of powdered sugar.

Incorporate cream and vanilla

Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, increasing the speed to medium, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Pro tip: Adjust the cream quantity for desired consistency.

Fold in peanuts

Gently fold the chopped peanuts into the frosting using a spatula.

Pro tip: Use freshly chopped peanuts for the best texture.

Cool the frosting

Let the frosting cool slightly if it seems too warm to spread.

Pro tip: Cooling helps thicken the frosting for spreading.

Spread on your dessert

Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Spread evenly for a smooth finish.

Pro tip: Use an offset spatula for a professional look.
