Ingredients
- 2 oz all purpose flour (6 tablespoons)
- 8 oz granulated sugar (1 cup)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 oz whole milk (1 cup)
- 1 ½ oz malted milk powder (¼ cup)
- 1 oz cocoa powder (¼ cup)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 oz unsalted butter (room temperature)
Instructions
- Combine 2 oz all purpose flour, 8 oz granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon salt in a saucepan, whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in 8 oz whole milk until smooth. Heat the mixture over medium low, whisking constantly, until it begins to boil.
- Continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to a pudding-like texture. Immediately remove from the heat. Sift 1 ½ oz malted milk powder and 1 oz cocoa powder over the pudding and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and cool to room temperature.
- Cream 8 oz unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Add the pudding, a little at a time, until completely incorporated. Switch to the whisk attachment and whip the buttercream until it’s light and fluffy.
