Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chip morsels
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup butter
  • 5 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Add the white chocolate chips and 1/3 cup of milk to a glass, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 50% in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the white chocolate is smooth. Allow to cool.
  2. Cream butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stir in melted and cooled white chocolate and then gradually add in confectioner’s sugar, about 1 cup at a time. Then add in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, followed by vanilla. Beat on high for about 1 to 3 minutes until the buttercream frosting is smooth, fluffy, and will hold a peak.

Notes

  • Makes about 5 cups: of frosting, enough for a 2 or 3 layer 9-inch round cake.
  • Make ahead: Place it into an airtight container and refrigerate. When ready to use, let the frosting come to room temperature, then beat it again with the mixer until fluffy.
