Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Milk chocolate bars
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Chop the milk chocolate bars into small, evenly sized pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
Gently whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and glossy.
Add the unsalted butter to the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl and stir until all lumps are dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Let the filling cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 30-40 minutes, or until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.
Before using, give the filling a quick whisk to ensure it’s smooth and ready to spread between cake layers or pipe into cupcakes.
