For a deeper caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free icing. Be careful not to overcook the caramel, as it can become hard and brittle. If you don't have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half, but the icing may not be as rich. This icing is best used immediately after making it, as it will harden as it cools.
