How to Make Homemade Caramel Frosting
- Melt 1/2 cup (113g) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar and bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. The mixture will thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 1/4 cup (60ml) of heavy cream. Stir until smooth and well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour the caramel mixture into a large mixing bowl. Gradually add 3 cups (360g) of powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well with an electric mixer after each addition until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional) and beat until fully incorporated. Your luscious caramel frosting is ready to use!
