| Servings: Fills and frosts an 8 or 9-inch two layer cake |
| Comments: Use the best quality white chocolate for this frosting. It really does make a big difference in taste and texture. A few good quality brands are Lindt, Callebaut, Scharffen Berger and Valrhona. You can find these online or at specialty chocolate stores and at some upscale supermarkets. |
Ingredients:  3/4 cup (4 ounces) good quality white chocolate, chopped 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1/2 cup (1 stick/4 oz./113g) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
| Instructions: Combine the chocolate and flour in a medium saucepan. Blend in the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until very thick. Remove from heat and cool. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture, beating after each addition. Beat on high speed until frosting is a whipped cream consistency. Makes enough to frost and fill a 8 or 9-inch 2-layer cake. |

I believe there is a mistake in the recipe. 1 cup of butter is not the same as 1 stick. Should it be 1/2 c. butter?

Wendy, I have corrected this mistake. Yes, the amount of butter used is 1/2 cup, which is 1 stick/4 oz./113g. Sorry about the mistake....Diana, Diana's Desserts

This was sooo good on my fresh strawberry cupcakes. I did decide to use less powdered sugar and I had to wait awhile for the chocolate mixture to cool so it wouldn't melt the butter. This was enough to pipe onto 18 cupcakes, and I garnished them each with a slice of strawberry. This is very similar to the same frosting I put on my red velvet cupcakes- minus the white chocolate. I used Bakers White chocolate. Can't go wrong with Bakers!

I dont know what I did but it hasnt worked, tastes devine but its just not whipping up all fluffy. My poor Mixmaster has been on for ages and its still runny. What did I do? I let the chocolate mix cool but perhaps it needs to be really cold? Will try again.

I made this frosting to spread on the 'Marble Gugelhupf Cake' and it was a big hit with all my dinner guests. Thanks again Diana.

Hi! I need help. I did the white chocolate frosting recipe and followed it perfectly but the frosting didn't mixed well, it was like trying to mix oil and water with other stuff in it. Does anyone knows what I did wrong? I used good quality products except instead of butter I used Blue Bonnet, it's compost of oil spread. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, is it possible I used the wrong attachment? I'm knew to all this.
