This White Chocolate Frosting is ultra-creamy, buttery, and made with real white chocolate for the perfect balance of sweetness and richness. It’s ideal for frosting cakes, cupcakes, or even as a filling for cookies!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. Let the chocolate cool slightly (about 5 minutes), but not harden.

Step 2: Beat the Butter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Mix in the White Chocolate

  1. Add the melted white chocolate to the butter and mix until smooth.

Step 4: Add the Powdered Sugar & Liquids

  1. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, beating on low speed at first to prevent mess.
  2. Increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy and spreadable.

Notes

  • For a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar.
  • For a smoother, glossier finish, add an extra tablespoon of heavy cream.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Rewhip before using.
