    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!

    Common Questions

    My buttercream looks curdled. Did I do something wrong?

    No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's common for the buttercream to look curdled, especially after adding the peach puree. Just keep mixing! It will eventually come together into a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Can I make this buttercream ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to two months. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature and re-whip it before using to ensure the best texture.

    The buttercream is too soft for piping. What can I do?

    If the buttercream is too soft, place it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, then mix it again. This should firm it up enough to hold its shape when piped.

    INGREDIENTS

    • 500 g (2 ⅕ cups) unsalted butter
    • 395 g (1 2/7 cups) sweetened condensed milk
    • 410 g (2 ⅔ cups) peaches canned in syrup
    • 3 drops (3 drops) food color orange - optional

    EQUIPMENT

    • Stick Blender
    • Silicone Spatula
    • 1M Piping Tip
    • 18 Inch Piping Bags

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • Prepare the Peaches: Pour the peaches and the syrup from the can into the bowl of a stick blender or food processor. Process until very smooth. Set aside. (Note: You can choose to use only the fruit and discard the syrup for a less likely chance of the buttercream splitting).
    • Whip the Butter: Place the unsalted softened butter into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or a paddle attachment and mix for about 5 minutes, or until the butter becomes lighter in color and fluffy.
    • Combine with Condensed Milk: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the butter. Mix again for 2-3 minutes or until well blended.
    • Incorporate the Peaches: Add half of the blended peaches to the buttercream and mix well for 2-3 minutes. The mixture may look curdled and split at this point, but continue mixing.
    • Add Remaining Peaches: Add the second half of the blended peaches and mix for another 2-3 minutes. Continue mixing even if the mixture looks curdled and split. It may take up to 10 minutes, but the buttercream will eventually come together.
    • Coloring (Optional): Add a few drops of orange food color if desired. Mix well to fully incorporate.
    • Pipe and Decorate: The buttercream is now ready to pipe. It pipes like a dream with a 1M Piping Tip for both swirls can cake borders. It's perfect for creating swirls on cupcakes or borders on cakes. If you find the buttercream a bit thin, refrigerate it for 15 minutes, then mix again before piping.

    NOTES

    Texture Matters: If the buttercream appears curdled or split during mixing, don't worry. This is normal, especially after adding the peaches. Keep mixing, and it will eventually become smooth and creamy.
    Flavor Adjustment: If you prefer a stronger peach flavor, consider reducing or omitting the syrup from the canned peaches.
    Piping Consistency: If the buttercream is too thin for piping after mixing, chilling it briefly can help improve its consistency.
    Coloring: The orange food color is optional. It's mainly for aesthetic purposes to give the buttercream a peach-like hue.
    Storing Buttercream: The leftover buttercream can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to two months.
    Reusing Buttercream: If you have leftover buttercream, remember to bring it to room temperature and re-whip it before use to ensure the texture is right for piping.
    Yield: Enough to pipe 24-36 cupcakes, depending on the size of the swirl.

      So happy you are writing the recipes for your blog. Everything I have tried from you has been fabulous. I would like to know about the sit at room temperature time for the different buttercreams. I make cakes and cupcakes for weddings where they sit out for hours. When I have a very large order they must be made and decorated the day before but I don't have refrigerator space. Can the No grit or condensed milk buttercreams sit out that long? Thank you.

        Hi Pat! The condensed milk buttercreams cannot sit out for that long due to the high dairy content. The no-grit vanilla buttercream would be a better option because of the absence of dairy. I have juts put together a new post of an improved version. The post is for a Biscoff version but I also talk about how to adapt it to a Vanilla Bean Paste flavor. All the very best to you! https://cupcakesavvyskitchen.com/no-grit-buttercream/
