Description
Ultra smooth Russian buttercream made with butter and condensed milk. This is an easy, glossy frosting that pipes well and avoids excessive sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the softened butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Whip the butter on high speed for 5 minutes. Stop and scrape down the bowl every minute until the butter is pale and glossy.
- Reduce the mixer speed to medium. Slowly drizzle in about one third of the condensed milk, letting it fully incorporate.
- Repeat with the remaining condensed milk, adding it gradually until fully combined.
- Increase the speed to high. Whip for 1 additional minute until the buttercream is thick, smooth, and shiny.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt. Whip briefly until evenly mixed.
Notes
- Use immediately or store refrigerated and rewhip once softened.
