Description

Learn how to make the perfect Russian Buttercream, a luscious frosting that’s silky, sweet, and easy to whip up. This recipe uses just a few simple ingredients to create a decadent topping for your favorite cakes and cupcakes.


Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Beat the butter: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed for 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add condensed milk: Gradually stream in the sweetened condensed milk while mixing on low speed until fully combined.
  3. Flavor and finish: Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Beat on medium-high for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a chocolate variation, add cocoa powder or melted chocolate during mixing.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent curdling.
