Easy Salted Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
100 grams of softened butter.
02 -
115 grams of softened fromage frais.
03 -
¾ tsp sea salt.
04 -
400 grams of confectioner’s sugar.
05 -
80 ml of thick caramel sauce.
# Instructions:
01 -
Whip together the softened fromage frais and butter in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
02 -
Gently mix in the sea salt, caramel sauce, and confectioner’s sugar on low speed until the sugar is mostly combined.
03 -
Turn the speed to high and beat it for about 2 minutes until the texture becomes light and creamy.
04 -
If it’s too thick, mix in a splash of milk. If it’s too runny, throw in a bit more confectioner’s sugar to thicken it up a bit.
05 -
Either use the frosting right away or transfer it into a sealed container and pop it into the fridge. Before using it the next time, let it warm up to room temperature and give it a quick whisk to refresh its texture.
# Notes:
01 -
This frosting goes perfectly with desserts like chocolate, vanilla, or even pumpkin-flavored baked treats.
02 -
If kept in the fridge and sealed well, this frosting stays fresh for up to 7 days.
03 -
For an intense caramel taste, pick a caramel sauce that’s dark and rich in color.
