Step 1

In a saucepan, bring the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar and butter to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly and allow to boil for 3-5 minutes. The frosting should be like a thick pudding.

Step 2

Cool caramel mixture to room temperature. This may take a while, but you can put in the refrigerator to speed the process if you want to. When cooled, it should be thick enough to almost hold its shape.
