Directions
- 1
Make sure the condensed milk and heavy cream are thoroughly chilled — this is the key to a thick, stable frosting.

In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the softened butter together with the cold condensed milk on medium speed for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- 3
Gradually add the powdered milk in three batches, beating well between each addition until fully incorporated and lump-free.
- 4
Pour in the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- 5
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to fill or frost your cakes and pastries.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra-firm frosting, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes before starting. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
