Ingredients
White Chocolate:
6 oz white chocolate (finely chopped or chips)
Butter:
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
Powdered Sugar:
2 1/2 to 3 cups powdered sugar
Heavy Cream:
1/4 cup heavy cream (plus more as needed)
Vanilla Extract:
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Salt:
pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (double boiler) or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Beat Butter and Chocolate: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the melted white chocolate and beat until fully combined.
- Add Sugar and Cream: Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating on low until incorporated. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Beat Until Smooth: Beat on high for 2 to 3 minutes until the frosting is smooth, fluffy, and spreadable. Adjust cream for desired consistency.
Notes
- Ensure the melted chocolate has cooled before mixing to prevent separation.
- This frosting pairs well with vanilla, lemon, or raspberry cakes.
- Yields enough for a 2-layer 9-inch cake or 24 cupcakes.
