EQUIPMENT
INGREDIENTS
Buttercream
- 40 g (1.4 oz) Aero bar use 2 bars for a richer flavor
- 500 g (1 lb) butter unsalted and softened
- 395 g (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 400g can is also ok!
- green food color
Optional Toppings
- chocolate ganache or chocolate sauce
- extra piece of chopped Areo bar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Melt Aero Bars. Chop the Aero into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe jug or bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool until lukewarm.
- Whip the Butter. Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer for 1–5 minutes until light, pale, and fluffy. The longer you mix, the smoother the result.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk. Pour in the full can of sweetened condensed milk. Beat until the mixture is creamy and fully combined—this takes about 2 minutes.
- Incorporate Melted Aero. Add the cooled, melted Aero chocolate. Mix again until completely blended and smooth, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add Color (Optional). If using, add 1–2 drops of green food color to boost the mint look. Mix briefly to distribute evenly.
- Smooth the Texture. To remove air bubbles, mix on the lowest speed for 2–3 minutes. Alternatively, fold and massage with a silicone spatula for a smooth, glossy finish.
NOTES
- Use a 1M piping tip to pipe tall, soft-serve style swirls.
- Chocolate cupcakes pair best with this mint buttercream.
- Add a drizzle of ganache or chocolate sauce on top for extra flavor.
- Sprinkle chopped Aero pieces for texture and decoration.
- Keeps in the fridge for 1 week in an airtight container.
- Freezes well for up to 2 months.
- To use again, thaw at room temp, then re-whip until silky smooth.
