Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting

I got this out of an older cottage living magazine. It's amazing on pumpkin spice muffins, any spice cake, on a spoon. : )

Melt brown sugar and 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir until sugar dissolves.

Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Remove from heat.

Whisk in cream.

Blend well.

Transfer to a heat-resistant bowl.

Cool at room temperature , stirring occasionally.

Place remaining 6 tablespoons butter and cream cheese in a large bowl.

Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth.

Beat in vanilla and salt.

With mixer running , slowly pour in cooled brown sugar mixture.

Beat until smooth.

Add powdered sugar gradually , beating well after each addition until completely smooth.

Chill slightly for a firmer texture , stirring occasionally.
