Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature
  • 4 cups confectionery sugar
  • 4 tablespoons milk
Instructions
  1. Put sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir briefly. Cook over medium heat without stirring until the mixture turns amber brown. Do not let it burn. Remove from heat and carefully add the cream. It can sputter and burn you if you're not careful. Stir until creamy. Cool.
  2. Add the butter, caramel mixture, vanilla and confectionery sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix until combined. Add milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Mix for 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
