Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 250 grams Powdered sugar
- 180 grams Dulce de leche
- 30 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually sift the powdered sugar into the butter, beating on low speed after each addition to avoid a powdered sugar cloud. Once all the sugar is incorporated, increase to medium speed and continue mixing until smooth and fluffy.
Add the dulce de leche to the mixture and beat on medium speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to ensure even mixing.
Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes until the icing is light, smooth, and spreadable. Adjust the consistency by adding a few more drops of heavy cream if needed.
Taste the icing and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your preference.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the icing to return to room temperature and re-whip slightly before using.
