In a large bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter using a hand mixer until smooth, or use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
Gradually mix in 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Add the salt and vanilla extract, and mix well. Then incorporate 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream.
Continue to beat the frosting until it's smooth, adding more heavy whipping cream until you achieve your preferred consistency, typically around 6 tablespoons.
Use the frosting to pipe or spread on your favorite desserts.
