powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Coconut sugar offers a lower glycemic index.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is a non-dairy alternative, while water can reduce richness.

Put 345 grams of sugar and 6 ounces of whole milk in a saucepan on the stove and allow the sugar to melt in the milk until all granules are dissolved.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl or keep it in the pot, then add 1.5 tablespoons of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and whisk together.

Cover the mixture with Saran Wrap, placing the plastic directly on top to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight.

Take 5 sticks of chilled unsalted butter and cut them into chunks.

Add the chilled milk and sugar mixture into a mixing bowl.

Using a whisk or paddle attachment, add the butter piece by piece; it will initially look like cottage cheese but will come together.

Gradually add 3 ounces of heavy cream while whisking continuously.

Continue whisking for 7 to 10 minutes until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
