🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 200 g (7 oz) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy whipping cream
  • 10 tablespoons full-fat milk powder (about ¾ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Using a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened butter for 2–3 minutes until it turns pale, light, and fluffy.

  2. 2

    With the mixer running, pour in the sweetened condensed milk in a slow, steady stream. Add the milk powder one tablespoon at a time, beating continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.

  3. 3

    Turn off the mixer and fold in the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract using a spatula with gentle circular motions, keeping the filling light and airy.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate the filling for 15–20 minutes before use to firm it up slightly, making it easier to pipe decorations or spread between cake layers.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a stiffer consistency suited for piped rosettes or borders, increase the milk powder by 1–2 tablespoons. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
