- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup homemade or pre-made caramel sauce
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter (½ cup, i.e., 1 stick) on medium using a hand or stand mixer with paddle attachment for 2-3 minutes or until creamy. Slowly add in powdered sugar (1 ½ cups), heavy cream (¼ cup), and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon). Continue mixing on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Add caramel sauce (⅔ cup).
- Slowly turn the mixer up to high speed and beat for 3-4 minutes. You may need to stop the mixer half-way through to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Add frosting to a piping bag to frost or use a knife to spread on top of cake/cupcakes.
