This glaze blends smooth peanut butter with milk, butter, and powdered sugar into a silky pourable topping. It drizzles well over cakes, brownies, cinnamon rolls, or banana bread, and firms slightly as it cools for a soft set finish. Warm leftovers briefly to restore pourable consistency.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Method
-
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the peanut butter, stirring until smooth.
-
Whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
-
Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, a little at a time, until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
-
Use the glaze warm, drizzling over your dessert of choice; it will thicken slightly as it cools.
