Okay guys, let's get started In a stand mixer add unsalted butter, which is at room temperature So it needs to be softened and whisk it for a few minutes until it becomes nice and pale Then you want to add your dulce de leche or boiled condensed milk. You can also use store-bought caramel so completely up to you but if you want the caramel flavor these are the options that I suggest. You want to whisk everything together at high speed and as you can see I'm adding my cream a little bit at a time. Then you want to go around and scrape the edges, make sure the butter and dulce de leche has incorporated. So kind of scoop around and make sure it's nice and whisked. You want to whisk it for a few more minutes just to make sure the cream has been whipped up and looks absolutely delicious. So when it's done it's going to look just like that and you want to place this aside for a moment.
