Directions
- 1
Refrigerate the condensed milk for at least 1 hour before starting — cold milk is essential for achieving a fluffy, stable frosting. Pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer with a whisk attachment.
- 2
Add the pastry emulsifier, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until all the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture begins to lighten.
- 3
Increase to high speed and beat for 6 to 8 minutes until the frosting turns bright white, fluffy, and holds stiff peaks. It is ready when it stays put on the beaters without drooping or falling.
💡 Chef's Tip
Use immediately for the best consistency and finish. Refrigerate any decorated cakes or pastries. For flavored or colorful variations, fold in a few drops of gel food coloring or 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder at the very end of mixing.
