Creamy Powdered Milk Cake Frosting

Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and powdered milk until evenly combined with no lumps.
- 2
Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, stirring after each addition, until a soft dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- 3
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and begin kneading with your hands until smooth and uniform.
- 4
If the dough sticks to your hands, dust with a little extra powdered sugar and continue kneading until the texture is pliable and non-sticky.
- 5
Add your chosen food colouring and knead until the colour is fully and evenly distributed throughout.
- 6
On a surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar, roll the dough out with a rolling pin to the size of your cake.
- 7
Carefully drape the frosting over the cake, smooth the edges, decorate as desired and serve!
💡 Chef's Tip
Wrap any unused frosting tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out — it keeps at room temperature for up to 2 days. A fondant smoother gives a flawless finish on the sides of the cake.
