Rich Butterscotch Frosting With Deep Brown Sugar Flavor

"Made with butter, dark brown sugar, cream, and milk, my butterscotch frosting delivers that rich, old-fashioned flavor you usually only get from homemade pudding. The base cooks briefly on the stovetop to develop a deep toffee-like flavor, then whips into a smooth, glossy frosting in about 20 minutes. It spreads easily and pairs especially well with apple cake, banana cake, or any dessert that needs more than a basic vanilla finish. There’s something about butterscotch that feels a little nostalgic, even if you didn’t grow up eating it. The mix of butter and dark brown sugar creates this deep, comforting sweetness that’s richer than caramel and a lot easier to make."
