$1 peanut butter frosting shot at Butter Lane

Butter Lane frosting shots

I stopped in at Butter Lane in the East Village the other night (it's a neighborhood I'm in pretty often so I'm there a lot) and wasn't really sure what I wanted, so when I saw the sign above, I decided that a frosting shot was perfect. I'd just eaten a big dinner and wasn't that that hungry.

So I picked the peanut butter frosting shot. It was $1 and I got this:

Let me just say that I love their peanut butter frosting. This was the first time I'd had a frosting shot there and this was just pure sweet creamy peanut butter deliciousness. But it was so rich I could only eat half of it (that's a compliment, by the way). It was wonderful and while not a "light" snack, it was lighter than a whole cupcake, I think.

They had this mixer sitting in the window:

They're also enticing you to become their Facebook fan with the promise of a free birthday cupcake.

Any idea how they made the PB icing? PB and powdered sugar maybe? I'm always looking for a good recipe.

looks delicious
I had my first frosting shot about a month ago. I was surprised at how much I like it. This could become a bad habit!
