Silky Russian buttercream brings elegant simplicity to dessert tables with its luxurious condensed milk base. Sweet creamy perfection awaits you with minimal ingredients and maximum flavor delight.
Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious mixing vessel and utilize an electric mixer to whip the softened butter at medium-high velocity until the texture transforms into a cloud-like, pale substance with enhanced volume and silky smoothness.
- Reduce mixer speed and delicately stream the sweetened condensed milk into the butter mixture, ensuring thorough integration and maintaining a velvety texture through continuous blending.
- Introduce vanilla extract and a delicate pinch of salt, gently folding these aromatics into the creamy foundation to elevate the flavor profile with nuanced depth.
- Evaluate the buttercream’s structural integrity; if the consistency appears overly loose or lacks stability, temporarily refrigerate the mixture for a brief interlude, then re-whip to restore its luxurious, spreadable composition.
- Once the buttercream achieves a pristine, glossy finish with impeccable smoothness, it stands ready to embellish pastries, cakes, or serve as a delectable filling for your culinary creation.
Notes
- Chill butter at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before beating to ensure perfect softness and creamy texture.
- Use high-quality unsalted butter with at least 80% butterfat for richer, smoother Russian buttercream.
- Control mixer speed carefully to prevent overbeating, which can cause buttercream to separate or become grainy.
- For dairy-free adaptation, substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or vegan condensed milk alternative.
