Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick (113 g / 4 oz) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (113 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- Whip Foundation: In a spacious mixing bowl, use a paddle attachment to transform softened unsalted butter into a voluminous, airy consistency with pronounced peaks and exceptional lightness.
- Milk Integration: Gently introduce sweetened condensed milk at a gradual pace, allowing each portion to harmonize seamlessly with the butter base while maintaining a consistent mixing rhythm.
- Texture Transformation: Accelerate mixer speed to convert the mixture into a silky, cloud-like buttercream, ensuring absolute smoothness and comprehensive ingredient integration.
- Flavor Refinement: Incorporate pure vanilla extract and finely ground kosher salt, meticulously folding these enhancers to distribute evenly and create a nuanced flavor profile throughout the creamy composition.
- Final Fusion: Execute a brief, intense whipping technique to guarantee complete ingredient amalgamation, yielding an impeccably uniform and luxuriously smooth buttercream texture.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Matters: Use room temperature butter (around 65-70°F) for the smoothest, most luxurious buttercream consistency.
- Whipping Technique: Gradually increase mixer speed to prevent splattering and ensure proper aeration of the butter, creating a light, fluffy texture.
- Salt Balance: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor profile and balance the sweetness of the condensed milk.
- Storage Tip: Refrigerate buttercream in an airtight container for up to a week, allowing it to come to room temperature and re-whip before use for optimal spreadability.
