Brown sugar fudge frosting made with any nut butter!
Prep Time 5 minutesminutes
Cook Time 10 minutesminutes
Rest Time 1 hourhour
Ingredients
57gunsalted or salted buttercold is fine
65gor ⅓ cup brown sugar
60gor ¼ cup whole milk
100gpeanut or any nut butterroughly scant ½ cup
Pinchfine sea salt
1small dash of pure vanilla extract
225gor 1 ¾ cups powdered sugarpreferably one made with tapioca not cornstarch (sifted beforehand)
Instructions
In a pot, add the butter and set it over medium low heat. Once it has melted, add the brown sugar and whisk.
Let it cook for a couple of minutes, you’ll see it bubble as if it’s boiling and give it quick whisk then add the milk and whisk it in.
Cook it with the milk for another 2 minutes, this time without stirring. You’ll see bubbling again. Turn off the heat and add the nut butter, salt and vanilla - whisk it quickly.
Add half of the sugar and whisk until you can’t see any more bits of powdered sugar, then add the other half and whisk again until you have a thick, smooth but very runny ‘frosting’.
Pour over your prepared bars/brownies/blondies or cake and let cool completely. It’ll seem like it’s going to be a mess but trust - after about an hour it’s going to thicken and solidify enough for you to be able to slice it.
Notes
This will make enough for a generous, thick layer covering a dessert made in an 8 or 9" square pan. If you've made your brownies/blondies/snacking cake in a 9x13" pan this will give them a decent, thin layer.
