This Gelato Buttercream is silky smooth and perfect for decorating cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and more. With only three ingredients, it's incredibly easy to make. You'll love how the rich flavor of gelato blends with the creaminess of butter and sweetness of condensed milk.
Microwave the gelato for 20 seconds, stir well, and refrigerate until needed.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped butter and mix for another 2 minutes until well incorporated.
Scrape the sides and base of the bowl with a silicone spatula.
Add the cooled gelato to the bowl and mix for 1-2 minutes until well combined and silky smooth.
Use a silicone spatula to mix for an additional minute to remove any air bubbles.
The Gelato Buttercream is now ready to use. It pipes well with a 1M, 2D, or 3J piping tip for cupcakes. It can also be used to layer and cover cakes and pipe buttercream borders.
