Ingredients

  • 6 ounces white chocolate baking bar
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (339g) powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  • Break chocolate bar into pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute; stir. Continue heating in 30 second increments until melted and smooth. Let cool while making frosting.
  • Cream butter and powdered sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Once smooth, add melted white chocolate and mix until smooth.
  • Add salt, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk or cream. Mix until smooth, adding more cream a bit at a time to reach desired consistency.

Notes

  • Frosting makes enough to decorate 12 cupcakes with piled high frosting.
  • Be sure to use a good quality baking bar (not white chocolate chips)
  • You’ll need less milk than heavy cream (the lower the fat content = the less amount you’ll need).
