Ingredients In Peach Condensed Milk Buttercream

• Unsalted Butter: This is the base of your buttercream, providing a rich and creamy texture. Using unsalted butter lets you control the sweetness without any extra saltiness.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: This brings in a lovely, sweet flavor and smooth texture to your peach buttercream. It's thicker and sweeter than regular milk, making your buttercream extra delicious.
• Peach Slices in Syrup: These add a fruity, juicy touch to the buttercream. The syrup makes it a bit sweet and moist, while the peach slices blend into a smooth, fruity puree.
• Orange Food Color (optional): If you want to enhance the color of your buttercream, making it look peachy and inviting, you can add a few drops of this. It's all about making your peach buttercream not just taste good, but also look great!

How To Make Peach Condensed Milk Buttercream

Blend the Peaches: Start by putting the peach slices and the syrup from the can into a blender or food processor. Blend them until they turn into a smooth puree. You can choose to use the peaches with or without the syrup, depending on how you like your buttercream.

Whip the Butter: Take your softened unsalted butter and put it in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment to whip the butter. You want to beat it until it becomes light in color and fluffy in texture. This usually takes about 5 minutes.

Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the bowl with the whipped butter. Mix them together well for about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be smooth and well blended.

Incorporate the Peach Puree: Add half of your peach puree to the buttercream mixture. Mix it in thoroughly. At first, the mixture might look a bit curdled or split, but don't worry. Just keep mixing, and it will start to look creamy again.

Add the Rest of the Peach Puree: Put in the remaining peach puree and continue mixing. Keep at it for another 2-3 minutes. If the mixture still looks a bit split, just keep mixing. It might take up to 10 minutes, but the buttercream will eventually become smooth and creamy.

Optional - Add Color: If you want, you can add a few drops of orange food color to give your buttercream a peach-like hue. Mix it in until the color is evenly distributed.

Check the Consistency:

If the buttercream seems too soft for piping, you can put it in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Then, take it out and mix it again. This should make it firm enough to hold its shape when piped.

That's it! Now your Peach Condensed Milk Buttercream is ready to be piped onto cupcakes or used as a delicious filling or topping for your cakes.

Leftover Peach Buttercream can be stored in the refrigerator for one week or freezer for two months.

My Top Tip

One of the most crucial tips for making this Peach Condensed Milk Buttercream is to keep mixing if the mixture appears to split, curdle, or separate. At times during the mixing process, especially after adding the peach puree, the buttercream might look curdled or broken. This can be alarming, but it's actually a common occurrence in recipes with high moisture content.

Here's the key: don't stop mixing! Continue to whip the mixture. The persistent mixing will bring all the ingredients back together into a smooth, silky consistency. The emulsion, which might seem broken at first, will re-form, creating a creamy and perfectly blended buttercream.

Remember, patience and continuous mixing are your best tools here. Even if it takes a bit longer than expected, keep going. The result will be a beautifully smooth and fluffy Peach Condensed Milk Buttercream, ready to elevate your cakes and cupcakes!

Substitutions

When making this Peach Condensed Milk Buttercream, it's essential to stick to certain ingredients to ensure the best results. Here's what you need to know about substitutions:

Use Real Butter: It's crucial to use real butter and not margarine in this recipe. Real butter has the right consistency and fat content to hold the buttercream together. Margarine, on the other hand, is often too soft and can cause the buttercream to be too loose. This means your buttercream won't hold its shape when piped onto cakes or cupcakes.

Opt for Whole Milk Sweetened Condensed Milk: The type of sweetened condensed milk you use also makes a big difference. Make sure to use whole milk sweetened condensed milk rather than skim or low-fat versions. Whole milk varieties provide the necessary fat content to give your buttercream structure and creaminess. Skim or low-fat condensed milk, or even the low sugar variety lacks this fat, which can result in a runny buttercream that doesn't pipe well.

By avoiding these substitutions and sticking to real butter and whole milk sweetened condensed milk, you'll ensure your Peach Condensed Milk Buttercream turns out rich, creamy, and perfect for piping!
