Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 226 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 360 grams Confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
- 120 milliliters Caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat them together on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually sift in the confectioners' sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to incorporate. Once all the sugar is added, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, about another 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the caramel sauce to the mixture and blend on medium speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure an even mixture.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix on low speed to combine, then beat on medium-high speed for an additional 30 seconds to ensure everything is well-blended and creamy.
Step 5
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness or caramel flavor if desired by adding a small amount of caramel sauce or sugar.
Step 6
Chill the frosting for 10-15 minutes if it seems too soft to spread, or use immediately for decorating cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.
