Silky Smooth Russian Buttercream with Condensed Milk
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (more to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Directions:
Beat the Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it’s light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 5-10 minutes.
Add Condensed Milk: Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the butter, beating well between additions. Continue beating for another 5 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Flavor and Finish: Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Beat again until fully incorporated and the buttercream is silky and stable. Adjust the condensed milk if a sweeter taste is desired.
Use Immediately: Spread the buttercream over cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts. Enjoy the smooth, rich texture and subtle sweetness!
