Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Coconut cream
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 200 g Vegan butter
- 300 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut cream and brown sugar. Stir frequently until the sugar is fully dissolved, and bring the mixture to a soft simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly to a caramel consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well with each addition. The mixture should become smooth and creamy.
Once the caramel has cooled, add it to the frosting mixture along with the vanilla extract and salt. Beat until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
If the frosting is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before using. If too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut cream to adjust the consistency.
Spread or pipe the caramel buttercream frosting onto your cooled cake, cupcakes, or cookies. Serve and enjoy!
