Directions
- 1
Refrigerate the condensed milk and heavy cream for at least 1 hour before starting — cold ingredients are key to achieving a light, stable texture.
- 2
Combine the chilled condensed milk, heavy cream, emulsifier, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl if using a hand mixer.
- 3
Beat on the highest speed for 15 to 20 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the frosting is thick, glossy, and holds firm peaks.
- 4
If desired, add a few drops of liquid food coloring and mix on medium speed for 30 seconds until the color is evenly blended throughout.
- 5
Use immediately to frost or pipe onto cakes and desserts, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
💡 Chef's Tip
Keep all ingredients as cold as possible throughout the process for the best volume and stability. The emulsifier is the secret ingredient that gives this frosting its smooth, hold-all-day texture — don't skip it!
