Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

2019-09-26 by Tomo

I would like to share this AMAZING brown butter cream cheese frosting!

I am not fan of cream cheese and last time when I baked carrot cake, I didn’t really like it.
I mean the cake was good but only the frosting.
And I wanted to make it different this time but I wasn’t sure what I was going to do till last moment.
Maybe cream cheese frosting with different recipe?
Or just lemon icing.
To be honest, I was ready to go for icing, being simple, just butter and icing sugar and lemon zest. I even bought lemons.
But then I wanted to try something new. (Even thought this cake was for my baby’s birthday party)

And I searched  some frosting recipe and found a brown butter cream cheese recipe here.
WOW that sounds amazing!! But is it good on my carrot cake??
But it was a great decision! Brown butter’s nutty flavor really matched with my spiced carrot cake.
I changed the original recipe a little bit.

This would go with chocolate or spiced cakes and caramel!
