Salted Caramel Buttercream Frosting
Recipe Source
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 5 Tbsp agave caramel
Directions
- Combine coconut sugar with egg whites a heatproof bowl of a stand mixture and set over a pan of simmering water; whisk by hand until the mixture is warm and the sugar has dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Attach mixing bowl to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat, starting on low then increasing the speed to medium-high, until the mixture is thick, fluffy and glossy and completely cool, about 6 minutes.
- Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and caramel and beat on medium high until the caramel is fully incorporated.
- Remove the bowl from the mixture and stir the frosting vigorously with a spatula to knock out some of the air and make sure all the caramel is fully mixed in. Let sit at room temperature if using the same day.
