Salted Caramel Cheese Frosting (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
½ cup butter, room temperature.
02 -
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature.
03 -
¾ teaspoon salt.
04 -
4 cups confectioners' sugar.
05 -
⅓ cup rich caramel sauce.
# Instructions:
01 -
Beat the butter with cream cheese in your mixing bowl until you get a smooth, creamy blend.
02 -
Toss in your salt, dump the confectioners' sugar, and pour in caramel sauce. Mix slowly until sugar gets mostly worked in.
03 -
Turn your mixer to high and whip everything for at least 2 minutes so it gets super fluffy and silky smooth.
04 -
Add a splash of milk if it's too thick or sprinkle more sugar if it's too runny to get just the right feel.
05 -
Spread it right away or keep it in the fridge in a sealed container. When you want to use cold frosting, let it warm up first, then whip it briefly.
# Notes:
01 -
This sweet topping tastes amazing on vanilla, chocolate, or pumpkin treats.
02 -
When kept in the fridge, your frosting stays good for about a week.
