Among the many options for the filling for the holiday cake, one of the most popular is a cream of condensed milk and butter. If you spread with them any, even the simplest biscuit, baked on your own or bought in a store, you will get a great treat, and you can cook it simply and quickly. The main thing is to find a suitable recipe and observe the simple technology of its preparation.
How to make cream from condensed milk and butter at home
The amount of ingredients in the recipe can vary depending on the number and size of the cakes that you want to spread with cream, as well as your taste - someone prefers a thin layer of filling, and someone is thicker. One way or another, you can take as a basis:
- 200 gr. oils (it is better to find fresh and good quality);
- half a can of ordinary condensed milk.
Now you need to soften the butter at room temperature, or put it in the microwave for a couple of seconds. Then you need to mix it with condensed milk with a whisk manually or using a mixer. To make the cream even tastier, you can add cognac, liquor, a little liquid instant coffee or a couple of spoons of cocoa powder.
If you are going to use this cream for decoration, then small parts of the mass must be laid out in a separate bowl and add food colors. Then your inscription "Happy Birthday" on the festive cake will sparkle with bright colors. But before you draw it, put the cream of condensed milk and butter in the refrigerator for 20 minutes - half an hour. Then it will slightly thicken, and using a special pastry bag to make patterns will be easier.
Cooking cream from boiled condensed milk and butter
If you or your children cannot imagine festive sweets without boiled condensed milk, then with its addition you can prepare a delicious, beautiful caramel-colored cream. To do this, mix 1 can of boiled condensed milk with 100 g or a little more butter.
The technology is the same as that used in other similar recipes - all ingredients must be thoroughly mixed. You can either buy boiled condensed milk in a store or cook on your own - to do this, put the jar in a pan with plenty of water and cook for three hours. After that let cool. Before the holidays, it is better to cook a couple of cans in advance.
If your butter cream comes in lumps, then its quality is definitely to blame. For a good cream, you need to purchase butter with a high percentage of fat - up to 82%, without the addition of plant components. You can read all this information on the label. If you did not take care of this in advance, and the lumps in the cream upset you - wait a while until the product softens even more, and then try rubbing it manually with a tablespoon. If it did not work out, then the only way out is to beat the mass with a blender at a very high speed for a long time. You will succeed!
Try to use cream from condensed milk and butter as a filling for Ryzhik or Zebra cakes , or just grease them with bought biscuit cakes - this will be a worthy way out of a situation when guests unexpectedly came to you. To serve such sweets for tea, you need only 10-15 minutes.
