Peanut Butter Buttercream – Pani Reka Pata Pīnati
A while ago Pic’s Peanut Butter asked me to create a buttercream using their pata pīnati māeneene (smooth peanut butter). What a dream recipe to create when peanut butter is literally one of my favourite foods in all the world. The recipe I came up with is so simple to make and just takes a few ingredients to put together. It is just lightly sweet and a little salty from the peanut butter.
It is also a perfect finishing touch to my kapukeke maika – banana cupcakes. It would also work beautifully on a chocolate cake as chocolate and peanut butter are best friends. Nā rear, kaua koe e noho noa iho (don’t just sit there), let’s make some buttercream!
A note about the pata pīnati (peanut butter), I have only ever used a natural peanut butter that only has roasted peanuts and salt in the ingredients. If you are using a more processed peanut butter I cannot guarantee it will work exactly the same as I have not experimented with a more processed pb. If you do, please let me know as I would love to know how it turns out!
