Does anyone know a good recipe for a dulce de leche buttercream? I need something I can use under fondant-so no refrigeration, and crusting is preferable.

Hi... I tried this one and everyone loved it!!!

Thank you! So generous of you to share.

oh no, this page will not open for me. is there another link?

It opened for me, so I'll cut and paste the recipe:

2 sticks softened unsalted butter
4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 can of Nestles Dulce De Leche
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
approx 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
dash sea salt

DIRECTIONS

cream 2 sticks of butter

slowly add 2 cups of the sifted powdered sugar

add vanilla and half of the cream/milk

mix till well incorporated

add half of the Dulce De Leche

mix till blended well

add remaining milk/cream

add the remaining Dulce De Leche

blend well

add salt

continue with the remaining 2 cups of sugar until you reach desired consistency.

Depending on your desired consistency you might use a little more or less of the sugar.

Mix on medium for about 4-5 minutes. Keep your eye on this as it mixes and do NOT over mix. I have had it turn grainy if I over mixed.

Frosts a 2 layer 9" cake

oh thank you so much!!!!!

Sounds so good but I can't find a CAN of Nestle Dulce De Leche any where all I can find is the stuff in a squeeze bottle like Hershey's syrup.

Do you think you can use caramel ice cream topping if it's thin or runny and not real thick?

I've gone to 2 supermarket places yesterday and finally found it, in a specialty type of supermarket. Here is a picture of it. One of the local supermarkets told me that if I had the actual name of the item, they would order it for me. This was at Stop & Shop. Hope this helps.

ok, don't know what happened to the attachment but here goes again.

You can also use International Delight Dulce de Leche added to your regular BC recipe for a milder flavor.
