Categories: Frosting

Ingredients

• 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 16 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into 1 tbsp. pieces, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup cooled caramel sauce

Directions

1. To make the frosting, combine the egg whites and sugar in a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat the mixture, whisking very frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved and reaches 160° F on an instant read thermometer. Transfer the mixture to the clean, dry bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture holds stiff peaks. Reduce the speed to medium low, add in the salt and begin adding the butter one piece at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in ½ cup of the cooled caramel sauce until well blended.
