🍰 Russian Buttercream Recipe provides a smooth and creamy frosting that whips up light and fluffy, perfect for decorating cakes and cupcakes.
🎨 Its rich vanilla flavor and stable texture make it ideal for piping, filling, and coloring with ease.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 3 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon (1g) fine salt

14 ounces (396g) sweetened condensed milk

Powdered sugar (optional, for thickening if needed)

Instructions

1-First, whip the room temperature unsalted butter on medium-high speed with a whisk attachment for 5-7 minutes until it lightens in color and gets super fluffy. I learned the hard way that under-whipping can leave it dense, so give it that full time! Next, add the vanilla extract and fine salt, mixing on low speed just until combined to keep everything smooth.

2-Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk in four separate additions, mixing at medium speed after each one; don’t forget to scrape down the bowl to mix everything evenly.

3-If the frosting looks separated or too soft, mix in powdered sugar a half cup at a time until it firms up.

4-Once done, use it right away on your cakes, cupcakes, or cookies for the best results it’s that straightforward!

Notes

🧈 Use room temperature butter that yields to gentle touch for best whipping.
⏳ Beat butter thoroughly for about 5 minutes to incorporate air and achieve light texture.
🎨 Add sweetened condensed milk slowly to prevent frosting from breaking; chill if too soft before piping.
