How to Make My Favorite Caramel Frosting
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and brown sugar.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer. Do not overcook!
- Remove from heat and carefully pour in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble vigorously – be cautious!
- Stir until smooth. Add the salt and vanilla extract.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, about 10-15 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the frosting is cool enough, use it to frost your favorite baked goods. Enjoy!
