Directions
- 1
Remove the vegetable shortening from the fridge at least 30 minutes ahead so it softens to room temperature.
- 2
Beat the shortening in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer on medium-high speed for 3–4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- 3
With the mixer on low, slowly pour in the condensed milk in a thin, steady stream to keep the frosting from deflating.
- 4
Add vanilla extract and salt, increase speed to high and beat for a further 4 minutes until the frosting is glossy, smooth, and holds stiff peaks.
💡 Chef's Tip
Tint the frosting with gel food coloring added during the final mixing stage. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; re-whip briefly before using.
