Directions
- 1
Remove the butter from the fridge 15 minutes ahead and cut it into small cubes so it softens evenly without becoming too warm.
- 2
Place all ingredients — powdered milk, sugar, softened butter, cold heavy cream, condensed milk, strained egg yolk, and vanilla extract — into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl.
- 3
Beat on high speed for 15 minutes until the mixture becomes light, smooth, and creamy with a spreadable consistency.
- 4
Transfer the frosting to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up and develop flavor.
- 5
Remove from the fridge and use immediately to frost or decorate your cake with a palette knife or piping bag.
💡 Chef's Tip
Keep your heavy cream as cold as possible for a fluffier result — even chill your mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand. This frosting keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. It also works great as a filling between cake layers.
