Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams White chocolate
- 250 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 200 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the white chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the white chocolate gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well each time to avoid burning. Once fully melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat them together until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 50 grams at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid splattering. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate (ensure it is slightly cool but still pourable) into the cream cheese mixture. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium speed until the icing is well incorporated and has a light, fluffy texture.
Taste the icing and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time.
Use the icing immediately to frost your favorite cakes or cupcakes, or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to three days. Allow refrigerated icing to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
