The Best Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
Rating
Hold my spatula – cream cheese frosting just got better!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar divided
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese and butter together in the bowl of a stand mixer or a handheld mixer on medium speed. Aim for a smooth and creamy texture, it should take about 1 minute.
- Add the caramel sauce and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat the mixture on medium speed until well blended.
- Add the sugar gradually, 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition to prevent a sugar cloud in your kitchen. If the frosting is too thin, add a bit more sugar until you reach the desired thickness.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for up to 2 minutes. This will add some air into the frosting, making it fluffy.
