Ingredients

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup salted softened butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese and Butter: Beat the softened cream cheese and salted butter together using a mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar and Caramel: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud. Once incorporated, pour in the caramel sauce and continue beating until the frosting is fluffy, creamy, and evenly blended.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
  • Use homemade or high-quality caramel sauce for the best flavor.
  • This frosting is ideal for spreading or piping on cooled cakes or cupcakes.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and allow to soften before reusing.
