This frosting blends smooth almond butter with butter and powdered sugar for a thick, spreadable topping with a toasty, nutty depth. It works well on chocolate cakes, cupcakes, or spread between cookie sandwiches, and comes together in minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy almond butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and almond butter together with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

  2. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until fully incorporated.

  3. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  4. If the frosting is too thick, add more cream a teaspoon at a time until it reaches a spreadable consistency. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
