White Chocolate Buttercream

Ingredients

• 8 Ounces White Chocolate
• 1 Cup Unsalted Butter Softened
• 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 dash Salt
• 1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream if needed

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Allow the fully melted chocolate to cool down for at least 10 minutes until it is room temperature, not warm to the touch.

2. 2

   In a large bowl add the softened butter and beat for 2-3 minutes until smooth and light. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add in the cooled white chocolate until fully combined and smooth.

3. 3

   Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt and mix on low until nearly completely absorbed before increasing the speed to high. Whip for 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy. If the texture of the frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and mix on medium-low to combine.
