List of Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
6 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons butter
6 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, divided
2 to 3 teaspoons milkRecipe
In a small saucepan, heat and stir the 1/2 cup butter over low heat until melted. Continue heating until butter turns a nut-brown color. Remove from heat; cool for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese and the 3 tablespoons butter until combined. Beat in about 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar. Beat in the browned butter and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in 4 1/2 more cups sifted confectioners' sugar and milk until frosting is of spreading consistency.
NOTE: Use butter only. Margarine or other spreads will not yield the same results and could keep the frosting mixture from setting properly.
