Ingredients
Buttercream Base
- 250 g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 250 g icing sugar (powdered sugar)
Flavor
- 200 g white chocolate
- A little milk, as needed (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Break the 200 g of white chocolate into pieces and melt it gently over a bain-marie by placing a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smoothly melted.
- Cool the Chocolate: Remove the bowl from the heat and let the white chocolate cool to room temperature so it does not melt the butter when combined.
- Prepare Butter and Sugar Mixture: Beat the softened 250 g butter on low speed until soft and creamy. Gradually add the 250 g icing sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating continuously until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine Chocolate and Buttercream: Pour the cooled white chocolate into the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until everything is fully combined into a soft, spreadable buttercream. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little milk, one teaspoon at a time, to reach desired consistency.
- Ready to Use: Your white chocolate buttercream is now ready for spreading or piping onto cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is completely cooled before mixing with butter to prevent it from melting the butter.
- Add milk gradually and sparingly to achieve the perfect spreading consistency without making the buttercream too runny.
- Use softened butter at room temperature for easier mixing and smooth texture.
- This buttercream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week; bring to room temperature and rewhip before use.
