How to Make Caramel Cream Frosting

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a light amber color (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Carefully pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream (be cautious, it will bubble!). Whisk constantly until smooth and combined. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let the caramel cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar to the cooled caramel, mixing until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Frost your favorite cake and enjoy!
