If you love white chocolate this is a great recipe!

  • 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.

  1. 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!
