Number Of Ingredients 6

3 sticks (339g) unsalted butter, softened (do not soften in the microwave)
8 ounces (227g) white baking chocolate (I used 2 Ghirardelli Premium Baking Bars)

1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract
4 tablespoons (42 g) milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt - optional to cut the sweetness

Steps:

  • Cut/chop the white chocolate into very small pieces, put into a microwave safe bowl and add 4 Tablespoons milk or cream.
  • Microwave for 15 seconds let sit for a minute or two, stir and microwave again 15 seconds letting it sit a minute to soften further, stir. Be careful not to over heat the chocolate. The chocolate will continue to melt as it is stirred. Let the chocolate cool down before using.
  • Beat the butter until softened and smooth, add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Add the white chocolate and milk mixture. Add vanilla. Add another Tablespoon milk if needed. Beat on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes and it will become smooth and creamy.
  • Makes 5 cups frosting. Makes enough to frost a 2 or 3 layer eight inch cake. If you will be doing a lot of decorative piping, you will need additional frosting.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality white chocolate: This will ensure that your frosting is rich and flavorful. If you use a low-quality white chocolate, your frosting may taste bland or grainy.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature: This will help it cream together with the white chocolate smoothly. If your butter is too cold, it will be difficult to cream and your frosting may look curdled.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting: Overbeating can cause the frosting to become stiff and grainy. Beat the frosting just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • If you want a thinner frosting, add a little milk or cream. If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar.
  • This frosting can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts.

Conclusion:

Perfect white chocolate buttercream frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to decorate a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are a professional baker or a home cook, this frosting is sure to impress.
