Step 1
Using a whip attachment with a standing mixer or hand held mixer with a large bowl, whip softened butter on high about 5-10 minutes until very pale and light and fluffy. It should double or triple in size. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed to ensure all the butter is whipped.
Step 2
Once the butter has been whipped, slowly add the sweetened condensed milk in 3 or 4 additions, mixing in between each addition, scraping down the bowl with a spatula as needed.
Step 3
If the buttercream looks separated or curdled, place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes and then re-whip. It should come back together to a smooth frosting.
Step 4
Mix in optional vanilla and salt and it’s ready to use on your favorite cakes and cupcakes.
