Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup salted butter at room temperature
  • 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the softened butter on high speed for at least a full 5 minutes, until pale in color and fluffy. If using a paddle attachment or handheld electric mixer, add 1-2 more minutes to the beating time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula as necessary.
  • Lower the mixer speed to medium and beat the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped butter in three stages, beating well between each addition. 
  • Beat in the vanilla extract and continue to beat the frosting until it's smooth and creamy. (If you are adding salt to this recipe, add it now.)
  • If the frosting starts to curdle or separate, place the entire bowl (including the whisk attachment) into the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes and beat again.
  • Use immediately for frosting or decorating cakes. 

Notes

If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 tsp. of salt to this recipe.
