Directions
- 1
Allow the margarine to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you begin.
- 2
Place the condensed milk, softened margarine, and vanilla extract into the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer.
- 3
Gradually add the milk powder while mixing on low speed to prevent lumps from forming.
- 4
Increase to medium speed and beat for 4 to 5 minutes until the frosting is smooth, creamy, and completely uniform.
- 5
Check the consistency — it should hold on a spatula without running. Add more milk powder to thicken or a splash of milk to thin as needed.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a richer flavor, swap the margarine for real unsalted butter. Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
