Alright, folks, let’s dive into the wonders of Russian Buttercream. This stuff is like a baking miracle – smooth, full of flavor, and crazy simple to whip up.

Here’s what you’ll need: unsalted butter (softened, of course), sweetened condensed milk (the secret weapon), a dash of vanilla (paste or extract, your choice), and a pinch of salt (to balance it all out).

Now, let’s get down to business: Beat that butter until it’s super light and fluffy, like clouds on a sunny day. Slowly add in the sweetened condensed milk, mixing it in like you’re making your favorite playlist – gotta get that perfect blend.

Next up, toss in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Mix it all together until it’s smooth as silk, baby. And just like that, you’ve got yourself some bomb Russian Buttercream.

Use it to frost your cakes, cupcakes, or heck, just grab a spoon and dig in (no judgment here).
