3 Ingredient Russian Buttercream (No Powdered Sugar)

3 Ingredient Russian Buttercream is a delicious and creamy alternative to traditional buttercream and is made with no powdered sugar! All it takes are 3 simple ingredients and a few minutes! Spread it on cakes, cupcakes, or your favorite dessert!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temp (227 g)
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment cream the butter on high speed for a total of 5-7 minutes until it is white in color and fluffy.
  • Scrape down the bowl if you see some of the butter not getting whipped throughout.
  • Stop the mixer and add in ⅓ of the sweetened condensed milk.
  • Mix on medium speed for 10 seconds, then add the next 3rd mixing in between before adding in the final third of condensed milk.
  • Mix on medium speed for another 30 seconds until it’s all combined into a fluffy frosting.

Notes

The butter MUST be at the right temperature before whipping. If the butter is too warm the frosting can separate. If the butter is too cold, the mixture wont mix smoothly.
