Description

This Chocolate Condensed Milk Buttercream Frosting is a smooth and silky frosting made with just three simple ingredients: softened butter, sweetened condensed milk, and rich dark chocolate. Perfect for piping onto cakes and cupcakes, this frosting delivers a delightful chocolate flavor combined with a creamy texture that is easy to whip up in under 15 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 250 g softened butter
  • 200 g sweetened condensed milk (at room temperature)
  • 60 g dark chocolate (72% cacao), melted

Instructions

  1. Whip the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the softened butter until it becomes light, fluffy, and roughly triples in volume. The duration will depend on your mixer, but continue whipping until this texture is achieved.
  2. Add Condensed Milk: Slowly incorporate the sweetened condensed milk at room temperature into the whipped butter while continuing to mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Mix in Melted Chocolate: Add the melted dark chocolate to the butter and condensed milk mixture. Mix well until all components are fully combined, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl after each addition to ensure uniform consistency.
  4. Ready to Pipe: Once all ingredients are integrated into a smooth, creamy frosting, it is ready to be used for piping onto cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to ensure smooth whipping; remove butter from the fridge several hours before starting.
  • Melt the chocolate using a microwave in short intervals: microwave for 20 seconds, stir, then repeat in 10-20 second increments until fully melted to avoid burning.
