Silky Condensed Milk Cake Filling Cream

Directions

1. 1

   In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, heavy cream, and eggs until fully combined and smooth.

2. 2

   Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cream thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

3. 3

   Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and rum if using. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

4. 4

   Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using as a cake filling. Pair with fresh fruits or flavor extracts as desired.
