condensed milk frosting, Russian buttercream, Sweetened Condensed Milk Buttercream Frosting

In a bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip butter until it has tripled in volume and is light and fluffy (approximately 8 minutes). Stop to scrape the bottom of the bowl a few times.
Add one third of the sweetened condensed milk while mixing on medium speed. Whip for about 8-10 seconds. Then, stop and scrape down the bowl. Repeat for the next third of the sweetened condensed milk and the final third. Stop mixing 8 seconds after adding the final third. Do not overmix.

Not gonna lie, I did wing it completely haha I didn’t read ahead and just dumped it all together and also didn’t have a full tin of condensed milk so I guessed the measurements and it still turned out pretty good!

I usually make SMBC but have wanted to make Russian Buttercream for ages. So easy … so delicious. Everyone loved it and it is now my new go-to frosting. Thank you for such helpful tips so I could avoid problems.

Didnt turn out like it shows but worked. Mine didnt hold up trying to do a basket weave but did with the spiral top and grass. It gets warm very quick so you have to move fast. Would love to add pictures.
