Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter just until liquefied. Allow it to cool slightly but not solidify.
Pour the whole milk into a mixing bowl.
Gradually drizzle the melted butter into the milk while whisking vigorously. The butter and milk will combine to create a thicker, creamy base.
Add the powdered sugar to the mixture and whisk until fully dissolved. If using vanilla extract, stir it in at this stage.
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed until light and fluffy. This should take approximately 5–7 minutes. The mixture should hold soft peaks similar to whipped cream.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If re-stored, re-whip for best texture before serving.
