Ingredients:
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Melt the Butter and Brown Sugar
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the mixture to bubble and thicken slightly.
- Add Milk
- Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the milk while stirring. Bring the mixture back to a gentle boil and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix in Powdered Sugar
- Transfer the caramel mixture to a mixing bowl. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add Vanilla Extract
- Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor. If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
