How to Make Cream Filling
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 2 cups whole milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens significantly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and let cool completely to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in the cooled milk mixture until completely incorporated and the sugar is fully dissolved. The filling will thicken as it cools further.
- Use immediately as a filling for cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.
- For an extra special treat, consider using this filling in chocolate cupcakes for a truly irresistible combination.
