EQUIPMENT

INGREDIENTS

500 g (2 ⅕ cups) butter unsalted, softened
395 g (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk chilled
3 teaspoon (3 teaspoon) water hot
2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) coffee coffee granules or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Coffee: Dissolve the coffee granules in the hot water and allow the mixture to cool completely.
Whip the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until it's light and fluffy. The longer you whip, the lighter the buttercream.
Add Condensed Milk: Pour the chilled sweetened condensed milk into the whipped butter. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remember to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Incorporate Coffee: Add the cooled coffee mixture to the buttercream and mix for another 1-2 minutes until smooth and fully integrated.

NOTES

Chill the Condensed Milk: If you're in a warm climate, chilling the condensed milk before use helps maintain the consistency of the buttercream.

No Powdered Sugar Needed: The natural sweetness of the condensed milk is enough so that you can skip the mess of powdered sugar.

Mixing Time Matters: Don't cut short on the mixing time for the fluffiest texture. It makes all the difference.

Versatile Uses: This buttercream is not just for cakes. Try it on cupcakes, whoopee pies, cookie sandwiches, or macarons.

Piping Tips: Use a 1M piping tip to create professional-looking swirls and borders for beautiful decorations.
