Been wanting to try making whoopie pies and this recipe just screamed to become filling to me. So today I made the Kyle's Whoopie Pies and then the Salted Vanilla Caramel Icing without the meringue powder. All was going well until I was mixing it after adding the caramel/cream mixture. It turned into a blob, very stiff. I added bit by bit about 2 tablespoons cream and beat it into submission. It came out very tasty - a bit stiffer than your photo. But since I was using it for a filling that was just fine.
I will definitely be making this again so that I can figure out where it went cuckoo this time.
Thanks for sharing such a yummy addition to the icing files. :)
