Today on The Stay At Home Chef
I'm showing you how to make Sweetened Condensed Milk Frosting.
I don't know about you, but I love sweetened condensed milk.
It is so good!
Today I'm going to show you how to turn a can of this into frosting.
I'll go over both a white frosting as well as a chocolate frosting.
And it is delicious!
All you need is 3 simple ingredients.
You'll need a can of chilled sweetened condensed milk,
some softened butter,
and vanilla extract.
For the vanilla frosting,
the can of sweetened condensed milk needs to be refrigerated overnight before you try and make this.
So make sure you pop it in the fridge the day before you want to make this frosting.
To start we're going to whip 1 cup of softened butter until it's nice and fluffy.
You want to whip it for a solid 2 minutes until it is smooth and shiny.
Then it's time to pour in a 14 ounce can of chilled sweetened condensed milk,
and you'll want to scrape the sides and bottom to make sure you get all of it.
And then of course I never let any sweetened condensed milk go to waste.
Then pour in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and then we're going to whip this up.
After about 2 minutes of whipping on high you should end up with a nice thick fluffy frosting.
Pretty neat trick, huh?
Just 3 ingredients and you have a delicious sweetened condensed milk frosting.
You can transfer this to a piping bag and pipe it on some cupcakes,
or frost it with a knife.
So that's our vanilla frosting, but what if you want to make chocolate?
I have a separate method for that.
For a chocolate sweetened condensed milk frosting,
you need 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and this does not need to be chilled.
You'll also need 2 ounces of baking chocolate,
and some vanilla extract once again.
We're going to start by giving the chocolate a rough chop
so that it''ll be easier to melt because we're going to make this on the stovetop.
Transfer all of that to a small saucepan,
and then pour in your 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk,
and of course make sure you get it all out.
Hold off on the vanilla extract for now and we're going to head on over to the stove.
And we're going to get this heating over medium heat.
I'm going to switch my rubber spatula to a bigger one,
and you want to stir this constantly while the chocolate melts into the sweetened condensed milk.
You can see that the chocolate melts super fast as the sweetened condensed milk heats up.
Once the chocolate is all melted you want to continue cooking this for about 5 - 7 minutes.
It'll thicken as it cooks.
After just a couple of minutes of cooking you can see it's already starting to thicken up,
but you want to keep going.
Don't worry if it looks like it's a little lumpy,
just keep scraping the sides and bottom so none of it burns.
You'll end up with a nice thick frosting.
Then we're going to remove this from the heat,
and then we're going to pour in our 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
And stir this in.
Now you want to let this cool completely before using it as a frosting.
And lucky for you I've already made one and it is all cooled off.
And you can see this frosting is nice and thick.
And there you have it!
