Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams white chocolate
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 360 grams powdered sugar
- 45 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until completely smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the cooled white chocolate to the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until fully combined.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue beating on medium speed until the frosting is smooth, creamy, and spreadable, about 1-2 minutes.
If the frosting is too thick, add a little more heavy cream (1 teaspoon at a time) until the desired consistency is reached.
Use immediately to frost your favorite cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow refrigerated frosting to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
