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.
