Fluffy Caramel Frosting Recipes

CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add butter, caramel sauce and mix until fluffy.
• Gradually, add powdered sugar (1/2 cup at a time) and mix until frosting is smooth and creamy.
• If frosting is too thick, mix in some milk or heavy cream. If frosting is too thin, mix in more powdered sugar.
• Cover bowl and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm it up a little more and make it easier to pipe. Enjoy!

CARAMEL FROSTING

Steps:

• Add the sugar to a medium-sized, heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat.
• Gently stir the mixture. The sugar will first form clumps. Continue stirring.
• As you stir the mixture the clumps will eventually melt and it will turn into a dark amber colored sauce.
• Carefully add in the chopped batter while whisking with a metal whisk.
• Once the butter is totally melted, whisk in the creamy. Make sure to constantly whisk the mixture.
• Remove from the heat and whisk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
• Cool fully. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter until softened.
• Beat in 1/2 cup fully cooled caramel sauce (you will need to measure out 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce you made - you will not need all the caramel you made), vanilla extract and salt.
• Beat in 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, starting with the mixer on low speed.
• If needed beat in the rest of the sugar, if needed, for thicker, sweeter frosting. If your frosting seems a little too thick, beat in the cream 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Decorate cakes or cupcakes using a piping bag or a knife.
• Optionally drizzle with additional salted caramel.
