🛒 Ingredients

10 servings

10
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 395 g)
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ packet strawberry-flavored gelatin powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine the sweetened condensed milk and the strawberry gelatin powder in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the gelatin before applying any heat.

  2. 2

    Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens to a soft fudge-like consistency, about 10–12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat and immediately stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.

  4. 4

    Return to low heat and continue stirring until the filling starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. Allow to cool completely before using as a filling.

💡 Chef's Tip

For an extra creamy texture, fold in a splash of additional heavy cream off the heat. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
