INGREDIENTS
- 500 g (2 ⅕ cups) butter softened, salted or unsalted
- 395 g (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup (½ cup) caramel sauce or dulce de leche
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the Butter: Place the butter in a medium mixing bowl. Use a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer to mix for 3-5 minutes. Aim for a lighter color and fluffier texture.
- Add Condensed Milk: Incorporate the entire can of sweetened condensed milk. Mix at medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until well combined.
- Mix in Caramel: Add the caramel sauce to the butter mixture. Mix for another 1-2 minutes until the buttercream is silky smooth. Adjust the caramel to taste, if desired, and mix again.
NOTES
To Use: This buttercream is versatile. Use it to layer cakes, cover cupcakes, or fill treats like cookie sandwiches, macarons, and whoopie pies. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to two months. Thaw and remix until smooth before use.
Chill Ingredients: In warm climates, chill the sweetened condensed milk before using to prevent the buttercream from becoming too loose.
Quality Caramel: Choose a caramel sauce that you enjoy on its own for the best flavor.
Mixing Time: If your buttercream splits or curdles, continue mixing. It might take over 5 minutes, but it will eventually smooth out.
