Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Beat the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add Condensed Milk: Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sweetened condensed milk in a slow, steady stream. Once fully incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until smooth and silky.
- Flavor and Mix: Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Finish: Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For best texture, ensure both the butter and condensed milk are at the same cool room temperature.
- If the buttercream looks curdled, continue whipping until smooth.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Rewhip before using if stored.
