Directions
- 1
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and butter. Place over low heat and stir continuously to prevent sticking.
- 2
Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring without stopping, until the mixture thickens slightly and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- 3
Remove from heat and gently pour in the heavy cream in a thin stream, folding it in with a spatula until the filling is completely smooth and uniform.
- 4
Allow the filling to cool fully at room temperature before spreading it over your cake layers to ensure the best consistency.
💡 Chef's Tip
Stir in a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt just after removing from heat for a more rounded flavor. Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
