Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup salted caramel ((you will not need all the caramel you made))
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 1/2 - 2 cups powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons cream (or milk)

Steps:

  • Add the sugar to a medium-sized, heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat.
  • Gently stir the mixture. The sugar will first form clumps. Continue stirring.
  • As you stir the mixture the clumps will eventually melt and it will turn into a dark amber colored sauce.
  • Carefully add in the chopped batter while whisking with a metal whisk.
  • Once the butter is totally melted, whisk in the creamy. Make sure to constantly whisk the mixture.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Cool fully. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter until softened.
  • Beat in 1/2 cup fully cooled caramel sauce (you will need to measure out 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce you made - you will not need all the caramel you made), vanilla extract and salt.
  • Beat in 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, starting with the mixer on low speed.
  • If needed beat in the rest of the sugar, if needed, for thicker, sweeter frosting. If your frosting seems a little too thick, beat in the cream 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Decorate cakes or cupcakes using a piping bag or a knife.
  • Optionally drizzle with additional salted caramel.
