2 Caramel Icing Recipes

18 years ago

Someone was looking for caramel icing recipes. Here are two recipes that are in my 1952 Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook.

Caramel Fudge Icing

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup sour cream or sour milk

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine sugars and sour cream. Cook (stirring constantly) to 238F or until a small amount forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water.

Add butter and vanilla and cool to lukewarm without stirring. Beat until thick enough to spread.

If frosting becomes too thick while spreading, beat in a few drops of hot water.

Will frost 2 (9-inch) layers.
