Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, powdered milk, and food emulsifier. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- 2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours, until very cold but not frozen solid — check every 30 minutes to avoid over-freezing.
- 3
Remove from the freezer and transfer the mixture to a stand mixer or use a hand mixer. Beat on high speed for approximately 10 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and holds firm peaks.

Use immediately to frost and decorate cakes, tarts, or cupcakes using a spatula or piping bag for a clean, elegant finish.
💡 Chef's Tip
The key to perfect frosting is temperature — the mixture must be very cold before whipping. On warm days, add an extra half tablespoon of emulsifier for extra stability. Store frosted desserts in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
