Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. Introduce sweetened condensed milk incrementally while maintaining a gentle mixing speed, allowing each addition to integrate seamlessly into the butter base.
  3. Elevate the mixer’s velocity, transforming the mixture into a silky, cloud-like buttercream with consistent smoothness and robust incorporation.
  4. Delicately fold in pure vanilla extract and finely ground kosher salt, ensuring these flavor enhancers distribute evenly throughout the creamy concoction.
  5. 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.
