Hi everyone! It looks like some of you are having problems hearing the audio. We were using some new equipment and something obviously hasn’t worked but we’re not sure what. Loads of you CAN hear though so all we can do is say a huge SORRY and suggest that you try watching on a different device. If you have experienced problems but worked it out, drop a comment below and help the community out 🙏❤️ Thanks everyone! CCJ xx

2 weeks ago I made this Russian buttercream for my son in laws birthday cake! Which was a combo of chocolate sponges layered+sandwiched with Dulce de leche Russian icing around the edge and Dulce de leche in the middle of each sponge, then completely covered in the Russian icing and decorated with swirls, sprinkles and a chocolate drip. I made it last year and he asked for it again….. as did my grandson for his birthday! I prefer this icing as it’s not so sweet. Welcome back Sally!

[@hengwin]

That sounds so good. I've wanted to try Russian buttercream for a while.

[@missmekit]

❤❤ Thanks Jemma ,Sally & Dane . Love your recipes

[@thehealthyepicures946]

Made these in two stages: sponge and Dulce de Leche (in the instant pot) yesterday and buttercream + decorating today! Only used 250g of butter and 200g of Dulce de Leche. The butter however, took about 25 minutes to get mousse-like even using a stand mixer (although it had quite a high fat content).. so as Sally said, persist until you have the right consistency! Overall, really nice! Thank you for a lovely recipe! I can’t wait to try it once it had time to set properly!

[@Simplycomfortfood]

Here is a great tip. If you have an Instant Pot(electric pressure cooker), place the can of condensed milk(with the label and any glue left on the can removed) on a trivit, laying the can on it's side. Add water to the Max Line. Place the lid on. Push the Pressure button and set for 22 minutes. It will take about 20 minutes for it to come up to pressure. When done, do a natural release(about 20 minutes) and when the pressure pin drops, unplug the Instant Pot and open the lid. Do not remove the can until the water is at room temperature. Remove the can and open it up. Oh My, caramel delight.

[@kamilagonet1459]

I'm definitely making those this weekend 😋

[@guro4679]

Costa Rican here! Must say Torta Chilena is a hit in bakeries. Almost every bakery has some sort of Torta Chilena. Some made with 'hojaldre' (puff pastry) or 'galleta' (pâte sablée). Great you used plenty of Dulce de Leche cuz there isn't anything sadder that a Torta Chilena stingily smeared with D.L. Pura vida Sally!

[@Grumpy_gurl]

My family is from Chiriqui, Panama. Is a Costa Rican hojaldre the same as Panama? I've never seen them in a Costa Rican restauarant in Oregon where I live.

[@guro4679]

@@Grumpy_gurl Well, I've never tried Panaman hojaldre, but Costa Rican hojaldre is basically puff pastry (butter that's been layered into a dough than later puffs in the oven). However, many bakeries sub butter for shortening or margarine to lower costs. I'd say everybody's acquired the taste of either shortening or margarine in their hojaldre here in CR. I'm pro-butter tho 😅 Many confections made with puff pastry here would fit into the umbrella term 'reposteria', and some examples could be: cachos rellenos, enchiladas, vulevanes, pañuelos and costillas. What's Panaman hojaldre like 🙃?

[@angelakelley7546]

Russian buttercream is the only kind I make. It holds up pretty well in our extra warm Texas weather. One trick I have learned is leave the condensed milk in the can in the fridge until right before you need to add it to the whipped butter. It mixes in more smoothly and does not take too long to blend all through the whipped butter without reducing the air. Delicious!

[@jamiescott5461]

Great to see you back! I had a hard time with the sound of this video, sounds like you’re far away ❤️❤️

[@GregHall-zx4ch]

[@eurekalass]

Looks delish, this combo needs trying! I often use Russian buttercream in various flavours as it’s not so sweet or gritty. Smooth and luscious!

[@HelloGudbye93]

How does it compare to Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream in terms of buttery flavor?

[@islandangel]

I have made condensed milk butter cream many times with many flavours. So versatile; you can add just about any flavouring to it that you like. I completely prefer this buttercream to regular buttercream as it is smooth, light, fluffy and not overly sweet. I have been topping all your cupcake recipes with it for quite some time now as I don’t like really sweet icing. Always delicious! Here in Canada you can purchase Dulce de Leche condensed milk made by Eagle brand in the grocery stores. Try making different flavours, I think you will love it also! I have made chocolate, coconut, strawberry, cookies and cream, caramel, coffee and many more.

In South Africa, we have a biscuit called a Tennis biscuits, sort of I suppose a normal biscuit with coconut added. We don't really make our own Dulce de Letche anymore, because a few 100 years ago, someone thought of making it and selling it as Caramel Treat, which is about ZAR2 more than condensed milk. My dad used to make a layer of tennis biscuits, a layer of caramel treat and repeat until ending with the caramel treat (dulce de letche). Pop into to freezer, yes freezer and nibble slices on a lovely warm day. Oh it is soooooo very sweet, but sooooooo very delicious. He used to eat it by the slice and he used to give us kids all a smallest of slices..... in retrospect, it would have been a major sugar rush for us kids....but to this day, my mouth still waters at the memory!

This may be a silly question, but does anyone know if there is a difference between self-rising and self-raising flour, other than the name? In the U.S., you find self-rising flour, which has baking powder and salt added. Is self-raising flour the same in the U.K., just a slightly different name? I'd love to try this recipe, but I want to make sure my leavenings are correct 😅

[@JohnSimpson36]

Self-rising flour shouldn't be confused with self-raising flour, which you may see in British cookbooks. That little “a” makes a big difference-self-raising flour generally does not contain salt, but does usually have a little more baking powder in the mix.
