Ingredients
- 250 g Butter
- 200 g Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 120 ml Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by ensuring all your ingredients are at room temperature. This is especially important for the butter and milk to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
Step 2
2. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color. This should take about 3-5 minutes on medium speed.
Step 3
3. Gradually add in the sifted powdered sugar a few tablespoons at a time. Continue beating the mixture on low speed until all the sugar is incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
4. Slowly drizzle in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture. Make sure the milk is well incorporated before adding more to avoid curdling.
Step 5
5. Add the vanilla extract and beat the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes on medium speed until the filling reaches a creamy and spreadable consistency.
Step 6
6. Taste and adjust the sweetness or vanilla flavor, if needed, by adding a touch more powdered sugar or vanilla extract.
Step 7
7. Once ready, use the mock cream immediately to fill or frost cakes and pastries, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature and re-whip briefly before using.
