A deliciously sweet and creamy caramel flavoured American buttercream frosting
Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 155kcal
Equipment
- Mixing bowl medium
- Hand mixer optional
Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter room temp.
- 150 g powdered icing sugar
- 65 g caramel sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Beat the butter (either by hand, using an electric mixer or stand mixer) until pale, light and fluffy. This could take several minutes.
- Sieve half of the powdered icing sugar into the butter and beat until combined, then repeat this with the remaining half of powdered icing sugar.
- Add in the caramel and salt (if using), mixing until only just smooth. Use to frost your cupcakes, cakes, brownies, etc. and enjoy!
Notes
- It's best to use the thick store-bought caramel sauce. This usually comes in a tin or jar like the Carnation brand caramel. The squeezy kind will give you a thinner frosting.
