Brown butter is as simple as it sounds, butter that is slowly browned in a skillet to give it a more complex flavor. Brown butter adds a rich, nutty flavor to any dish that uses butter. What type of butter should I use to make a brown butter cream cheese frosting?

Brown butter only takes about 10 minutes to make on the stove top. It’s very simple, yet you will want to stand next to the stove at all times stirring to make sure that the butter does not burn. You want there to be little brown bits, not black bits, which would mean the milk solids have burned.

The frosting will be hard coming out of the refrigerator. Let it sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften. You can also rewhip it briefly with an electric mixer to make it soft and easy to work with again.Brown butter cream cheese frosting freezes really well. I like to place mine in a freezer-safe bag and press all of the air out of the bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Place the container in the refrigerator overnight to thaw.
