🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk, well chilled
  • 1 can heavy cream (without whey), well chilled
  • 2 teaspoons pastry emulsifier
  • 5 tablespoons whole powdered milk

Directions

  1. 1

    Refrigerate the condensed milk and heavy cream for at least 2 hours before starting — cold ingredients are key to achieving maximum volume.

  2. 2

    Add all four ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer.

  3. 3

    Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then increase to high speed and whip until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or layer cakes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

💡 Chef's Tip

For an even firmer and fluffier frosting, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping. The colder everything is, the better the final result.
