Peanut butter cream cheese frosting gives brownies and cupcakes a rich, tangy finish that holds its shape when mixed and chilled with care. Use it as a spreadable brownie layer or a pipeable cupcake topping, and adjust sugar, salt, and chilling time to keep the texture steady.
Essential Concepts
Softened cream cheese. Gradual sugar. Chill to set. Add salt. Brownies need spreadable frosting; cupcakes need firmer frosting.
