CARAMEL CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

What could be better than a thick slathering of cream cheese frosting on top of a delicious cake?  How about a thick slathering of Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting!?  That's right, our favorite cream cheese frosting got amped up with fall-favorite caramel flavor.  And oh my, this stuff is good.

If I'm being completely honest, I have to say that cream cheese frosting is my absolute favorite kind of frosting.  Now don't get me wrong, I can totally get behind a great homemade vanilla buttercream frosting, or my almost-favorite coffee buttercream ... But truly for me, cream cheese frosting is where it's at.

There's just something about the creaminess and slight tang from the cream cheese in cream cheese frosting that I adore

Ingredients

• 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 c. caramel ice cream topping
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp. salt or fine sea salt
• 6 c. confectioners’ sugar

Directions

1. Beat butter and cream cheese in bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add vanilla extract, caramel ice cream topping, and salt; reduce mixer speed to low and mix for a few seconds until just combined.
2. Add confectioners' sugar, about 2 cups at a time, beating on low speed for a few seconds between each addition. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for about 20 to 30 seconds until smooth.
3. Use to frost one cake or about 24 to 30 cupcakes.
