Creamy Dream Buttercream
Main Ingredients:
- 1 stick (113 g / 4 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (113 g) sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- Place softened unsalted butter in a spacious mixing bowl, utilizing a paddle attachment to whip the mixture into a light, airy texture with volume and peaks.
- Introduce sweetened condensed milk incrementally while maintaining a gentle mixing speed, allowing each addition to integrate seamlessly into the butter base.
- Elevate the mixer’s velocity, transforming the mixture into a silky, cloud-like buttercream with consistent smoothness and robust incorporation.
- Delicately fold in pure vanilla extract and finely ground kosher salt, ensuring these flavor enhancers distribute evenly throughout the creamy concoction.
- Execute a final vigorous whipping technique for a brief intense moment, guaranteeing complete fusion of all ingredients and achieving an impeccably uniform buttercream texture.
Notes
- Achieve the fluffiest texture by using room temperature butter for smoother mixing and incorporation.
- Whip the butter thoroughly before adding condensed milk to prevent lumpy consistency.
- Slow and steady mixing prevents separation and ensures a silky, stable buttercream.
- Adjust consistency with additional condensed milk if too thick or more butter if too thin.
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for a rich, complex flavor profile that elevates the buttercream.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, allowing it to come to room temperature before re-whipping.
