Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
- Add the brown sugar and continue beating until well combined.
- Slowly pour in the milk and vanilla extract while beating the mixture.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and mix until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, you can add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the caramel frosting is ready, it can be used immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. If not using right away, cover and refrigerate until needed. Before using chilled caramel frosting, allow it to come to room temperature and give it a quick mix to restore its smoothness.
