Chocolate Condensed Milk Buttercream Frosting Recipe (2024)

Chocolate Condensed Milk Buttercream Frosting Recipe (1)This Chocolate Condensed Milk Frosting is a simple and easy way to make a silky sweet frosting with only three ingredients!

It’s a great and easy way to make a frosting for your baking goods in no time. The addition of sweetened condensed milk gives the buttercream a very pleasant taste and serves as a sweetener (no extra sugar needed). Use this frosting to decorate your favorite desserts!

Ingredients:

250g soften butter
200g sweetened condensed milk
60g your favorite chocolate (I used dark chocolate 72% cacao)

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the softened butter until light, fluffy and tripled in volume. (The beating time will depend on your type of mixer). Slowly whip in sweetened condensed milk at room temperature until thoroughly mixed in.

Step 2

Add melted chocolate and mix until all the ingredients are combined well. Don’t forget to scrape the sides of the bowl after each addition. Now it’s ready for piping!

Notes:

Use room temperature butter. This means that you will need to remove your butter from the fridge several hours before you plan on using it.

Microwave the chocolate for 20 seconds (or 10 seconds if at a high temperature) then take the bowl out and give it a stir. Place the bowl back in the microwave and repeat the process of cooking for another 20 seconds, stopping, stirring and returning to the microwave until the chocolate has melted.

        I’m SO pleased you do weigh things properly! I’m in England and cups means absolutely nothing to me! I often see some lovely recipes but the measurements are in cups and I can’t make them. Love your recipes – keep up the good work! Thanks very much. x

      It would be nice if the measurements were broke down in Cups, Ounces etc. A lot of people don’t understand what 200mgs of butter.? (Example only)

      Do you have a measuring cup that has ounces and ml on it? Most of them do these days. The weight to dry oz measurements on a measuring cup will be approx .Many things affect the weight humidity being one of them. Happy Baking everyone!

    Does this frosting harden when put in the refrigerator and how long does it last after making it if not using it right away?

    Reply

    • Chocolate Condensed Milk Buttercream Frosting Recipe (23)admin

      Hi Sabrina,
      Yes, the frosting gets harder in the fridge. You can store it in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Let it come up to room temperature before using it. Once your buttercream has warmed up, re-whip it to bring it back to a fluffy consistency.

    Hi!! Does this stay stiff at room temperature? The consistency of it looks like it would be extremely melty if un-refrigerated. Does it pipe like normal powdered sugar buttercream?

      Hi Rose, in general, buttercream can sit out at room temperature for up to 2 days.

        Hi Mollie, I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never frozen a cake, but I think you can do it because it’s just a buttercream frosting.

        Why do you specify hand mixer? I only have a stand mixer. Will that make a difference in the consistency or something in the frosting?

        Reply

        • Chocolate Condensed Milk Buttercream Frosting Recipe (45)admin

          Hi Lola. I do that, because not everyone has a stand mixer. It will not make any difference in the consistency but it may take you less time to make it.)

      Hi Millie, it’s up to you. Usually the frosting is made with unsalted butter but if you like some saltiness then you can use the salted butter.

        I made this with salted butter since the recipe did not specify and the comments indicated either would be fine but I have to say it is REALLY salt forward, even used on dark chocolate cake. I may try again with unsalted, but this was not good, so please use unsalted butter if you try it,

    For everyone complaining about the recipe being grams. Not every country uses cups. Make it easy on yourself and buy a $10 kitchen scale. I am in Canada and we use Cups but I also purchased a scale for when I need to weigh out ingredients for recipes like these. It’s really not that hard. I can’t wait to try this recipe!

    When you say melt chocolate ate you referring to chocolate bark, chocolate chips, or something else? Sorry but you did not clarify.

    I agree with another commenter. You should also include measurements in cups, tablespoons, etc. for those of us that live in the U.S. or other places that use those measurements. There has got to be a way to do that.

    When making a 9-inch layer cake, I needed to TRIPLE the recipe in order to fill, frost, and pipe decorations. Not really a problem, but it definitely affects the cost. I also suggest adding a generous pinch of salt to boost the chocolate flavor and offset the sweetness. That said, it is quite delicious!

    Mine had a very overwhelming taste of butter. I added more chocolate and milk. Still tasted like whipped butter. I hope the chocolate cake hides the butter taste. It did pipe beautifully.

    Can I use white chocolate for this recipe? Also if you need to convert something you just have to ask the internet. In Canada we use cups, grams and imperial. I just convert everything to grams, which gives the most accurate measurements for baking.
