Ingredients:
•6 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
•1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
•3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
•1 tsp vanilla extract
•2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk (adjust for consistency)
•Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1️⃣ Melt the White Chocolate:
•In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate using a microwave (in 20-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler.
•Once melted and smooth, let it cool to room temperature.
2️⃣ Beat the Butter:
•In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
3️⃣ Add the Melted Chocolate:
•Pour in the cooled white chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
4️⃣ Incorporate the Sugar & Vanilla:
•Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud.
•Add vanilla extract and salt, then mix until smooth.
5️⃣ Adjust the Consistency:
•Add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or milk at a time, beating until you reach your desired consistency. For a firmer frosting, use less cream; for a softer, more spreadable buttercream, add more.
6️⃣ Final Whip:
•Increase the speed to medium-high and whip the buttercream for 2–3 minutes until it’s fluffy, silky, and spreadable.
How to Use & Store:
•Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies.
•Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
•To use after refrigeration, bring to room temperature and re-whip for a smooth texture.
