Ingredients
- 170 grams white chocolate
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 360 grams powdered sugar
- 45 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the cooled white chocolate to the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until fully combined.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
If the frosting is too thick, add a little more heavy cream (1 teaspoon at a time) until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
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.
