Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 12 oz evaporated milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk and sugar.
    Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.
  • Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer.
    Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and reduces by about half.
    Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter until creamy.
    Gradually add the cooled evaporated milk mixture, beating continuously until frosting is smooth and fluffy.
  • Stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Use immediately to frost cakes or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
    Allow chilled frosting to come to room temperature before spreading.
