Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and salted butter together using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually incorporate the 4 cups of powdered sugar into the cream cheese mixture. Beat continuously on a low speed at first, then increase to medium, ensuring the sugar is fully incorporated and the frosting begins to thicken.
- Mix in caramel sauce: Add the 1/4 cup of caramel sauce to the frosting and continue to beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is fluffy and has a creamy consistency, well blended with the caramel flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Adjust the caramel sauce quantity according to your desired sweetness and caramel intensity.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to loosen it slightly.
- Keep the frosting refrigerated if not using immediately. Bring it to room temperature and re-whip before use.
- This frosting pairs wonderfully with chocolate, spice, and carrot cakes.
