Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup melted white chocolate
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and salted butter together using a mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Add Powdered Sugar Gradually: Slowly add the powdered sugar a little at a time to the cream cheese and butter mixture, continuing to beat on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud, then increase speed until fluffy and well combined.
- Incorporate Melted White Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate into the frosting mixture and beat on medium speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and completely homogeneous. Ensure the melted chocolate has cooled slightly before adding to prevent melting the frosting.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for smooth blending.
- Melt the white chocolate gently, preferably with a double boiler or in short bursts in a microwave to avoid burning.
- This frosting pairs excellently with red velvet, carrot, or vanilla cakes.
- For a thicker frosting, chill it for about 30 minutes before using.
- Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
