To make a fluffy, peanut butter icing, combine butter, creamy peanut butter, milk and confectioner's sugar. Mix ingredients well with an electric mixer.

You could substitute another fat for the butter. Shortening would work.

Yes, some thin icings or "glazes" are made with only sugar and a liquid such as milk, cream or fruit juice. Other icings can be made with shortening or lard instead of butter. Royal frosting is made with sugar and egg white, with no butter or shortening.

How do you make icing with out butter?

Well you can use a butter substitute? or just mix a few drops of liquid such as water, juice or milk to 1 cup of icing sure until spreadable! Butter holds the icing mixture together and provides a smooth texture. Maybe don't use icing? and use a ganache or spread instead :)


Can you make butter icing with royal icing sugar?

Royal icing and butter icing are completely different products. Royal icing is made with beaten egg whites (often as dry egg white powder) which break down when in contact with any fat or oil. Butter icing has a very high fat content, so the two types of icing are not compatible. If for some reason no sugar is available to make butter icing, it might be possible to reduce completely dry royal icing to a powder in a blender or food processor, then use that in place of powdered sugar for the butter icing. But that would be a very odd way of getting sugar by way of reverse engineering.

If you want a pure white icing, then use clear flavorings. These are usually artificial and you can find them in the cake decorating supply area of Michaels stores. If the icing will be colored, then pure vanilla extract or the extract of your choice is fine. I use 1 teaspoon for every pound of confectioners sugar.
