Servings: 2cups
Ingredients
2sticksUnsalted Butter227g
1canSweetened Condensed Milk395g
1teaspoonVanilla
½teaspoonSalt
Instructions
Make sure the butter is completely at room temperature before beginning.
Put the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on high for 5 full minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
2 sticks Unsalted Butter
Turn the mixer down to medium speed and add ⅓ of the condensed milk and whip until totally incorporated.
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
Repeat until all the condensed milk is added.
Add vanilla and salt and then beat on high speed for 1 minute.
1 teaspoon Vanilla, ½ teaspoon Salt
Notes
It is so important that the butter is at the right temperature. If it's too cold it won't emulsify properly, and if it's too warm the frosting will be soupy. If this happens, don't start over - see my section in the blog post above about troubleshooting.
