Why does the recipe call for chilled butter?
Adding chilled, cubed butter helps stop the cooking process so the frosting doesn’t get too hot. The lower temperature also helps create a light, fluffy texture.
Can I make the frosting ahead of time?
Yes! The caramel frosting can be made up to 5 days in advance. Simply store it covered at room temperature. Before using, re-whip it with a mixer to restore the texture.
How should I store leftover frosting?
Place any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Let it come to room temperature before using.
What can I substitute for heavy cream?
For the best flavor and texture, heavy whipping cream is best. But in a pinch, you can use half-and-half or whole milk combined with a tablespoon of soft butter.
