How to Make Dulce De Leche Icing

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 3 cups of powdered sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup of sour cream until smooth.
  3. Gently heat 1 cup of dulce de leche in a microwave-safe bowl for 5-10 seconds, or until slightly softened and easier to stir. Be careful not to overheat!
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients (milk mixture) to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
  5. Stir in the softened dulce de leche until fully incorporated and the icing is smooth and creamy.
  6. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
