Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227g) butter
- 1 can (400g) condensed milk
- ½ cup (120g) raspberry coulis
Garnish:
- 12 fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare a clean stand mixer bowl and attach the whisk attachment to ensure optimal butter incorporation.
- Transfer softened butter to the mixer and whip on medium-high speed for approximately 5 to 6 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, creating a light and fluffy base.
- Gradually introduce sweetened condensed milk into the whipped butter, mixing thoroughly between each addition to maintain a smooth, consistent texture.
- Stream in homemade raspberry coulis or high-quality raspberry puree, continuing to mix until the buttercream develops a glossy sheen and reaches a luxurious, spreadable consistency.
- Taste and adjust the flavor profile by adding additional raspberry coulis or a pinch of vanilla extract if desired, ensuring a balanced and vibrant raspberry essence.
- Transfer the finished Russian buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip, ready to elegantly frost cooled cupcake bases.
- Generously pipe the raspberry-infused buttercream onto each cupcake, creating graceful swirls or classic rosette patterns for an visually appealing and delectable dessert presentation.
Notes
- Keep cupcakes refrigerated in an airtight container for optimal freshness and texture.
- Russian buttercream develops richer flavor when allowed to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Leftover raspberry coulis can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week and used in other desserts or breakfast dishes.
- For best piping results, ensure buttercream is smooth and at consistent temperature before decorating cupcakes.
- Experiment with different fruit coulis like strawberry or mixed berry to create unique flavor variations.
