I lovelovelove white chocolate. Incorporating it into buttercream was a pretty natural progression for me.
This recipe will cover a dozen cupcakes or one 2-layer cake. (Not including crumb coat)
White Chocolate Buttercream
If you love white chocolate this is a great recipe!
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) butter
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup chopped white chocolate, good quality
- 1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
Instructions
- Place room temperature butter and sugar in stand mixer and combine. Mixture will still seem dry.
- Over a double broiler (pan with 1-2 inches boiling water with heat safe bowl over top) slowly melt white chocolate.
- Pour melted white chocolate into mixer while on low speed. Be careful as chocolate is hot. Add in 1 tablespoon milk and turn mixer to medium. Mix for 1-2 minutes to achieve desired consistency.

Since this frosting is so sweet, I love pairing it with a rich dark chocolate.
Be sure to let me know what you pair it with when you try it! 🙂
Ah I have been looking for a recipe for this so long! Thank you 😀
such a good recipe to have on hand this time of year!!
Can this be coloured with gel or liquid food colouring?
I’m going to use this to frost a Green Velvet cake I a man making for St. Patrick’s Day. I’m wondering if the white chocolate powdered used for espresso drinks could work for this? I think I’ll experiment!
I really liked the pound cake 🎂 it’s easy enough and comes out beautifully,

I paired it with the lime cupcakes from your cherry limeade cupcake recipe and it was delicious!!!
How much vanilla extract should I use for this recipe?
