Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of unsalted butter at room temperature.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour in the 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk while continuing to mix on low speed.
Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, and mix until combined.
Gradually sift in 3 cups of powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to avoid a sugar cloud.
Once all the powdered sugar has been incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium and beat the frosting for another 2-3 minutes until it is smooth, creamy, and spreadable.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. If not using right away, store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let it come to room temperature and give it a quick stir before using.
