Cream Butter and Sugar:
Using a mixer, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This step forms the base of your creamy filling. -
Incorporate Dry Milk:

Add Vanilla Essence:
Pour in the vanilla extract to infuse the filling with its aromatic essence. The vanilla adds depth and enhances the overall flavor profile. -
Mix Until Smooth:
Continue mixing on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If needed, add hot water gradually, a tablespoon at a time, to achieve the desired consistency. -
