Instructions

Embrace the enchanting allure of our Date Ermine Buttercream recipe with these precise steps:


1. Soak the chopped pitted dates in Rooibos tea for 10 minutes.
2. Transfer the soaked dates to a blender and add half of the milk. Blend until smooth.
3. In a microwave-safe dish, combine flour, sugar, and custard powder.
4. Add the remaining milk to the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
5. Incorporate the date paste and vanilla essence into the flour mixture, mixing until well combined.
6. Microwave the mixture on High (100% Power) for 3 minutes, stirring at one-minute intervals. The mixture should reach a thick custard consistency.
7. Cover the date custard with cling wrap to prevent a skin from forming on top. Let it cool down completely.
