Vanilla Buttercream with Nuts

Ingredients

Condensed milk 5 tbsp

Whipping cream 200 ml

Salt 1 pinch

Vanilla sugar 20 g

Almonds 50 g

Icing sugar 300 g

Pour the vanilla sugar into the cream and bring to a boil. Let it steep for about half an hour and strain into a saucepan. Add the powdered sugar, salt, and condensed milk.

Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula, for about 30 minutes. Make sure there are no sugar crystals around the edges of the saucepan.

Gradually, the fondant will acquire a pleasant creamy color.

To check if the fondant is ready, drop a drop into a glass of cold water. The finished fondant will immediately form a dense, non-stick lump.

 Add the chopped almonds to the warm mixture, stir, and transfer to a shallow, buttered baking dish. Let the mixture cool thoroughly, then cut it into cubes with a sharp knife. Silicone ice cube trays are also suitable.

Enjoy!
