| Comments: This is a delicious and very tasty basic white frosting for cupcakes. Use the best quality white chocolate you can find such as Valrhona, Callebaut, Lindt or Scharffen Berger, to name a few. |
Ingredients:  4 1/2 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick/3 oz./85g) unsalted butter, softened Pinch of salt |
| Instructions: 1. Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. Stir until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. 2. Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Add the butter and salt and beat until smooth. Stir in the cooled white chocolate. Refrigerate until firm enough to frost the cupcakes, about 30 minutes. Makes enough to frost 12 cupcakes. |

Oh my goodness, this was amazing. I put them on chocolate lemon cupcakes, and it was such a smooth and sweet complement to the tart bite of the lemon.

This frosting was much too sweet. We couldn't taste the chocolate in it at all. I used it to ice my daughter's cake for her 1st birthday (chocolate cake with a chocolate-raspberry frosting in the middle) and it overpowered the rest of the cake. I'd either cut out 3/4 cup of icing sugar or find another frosting altogether.

This icing was really good. I made it for my friend's birthday and all my friends loved it, but i had one issue, i didn't know why it would not stay firm; it was extremely difficult for me to frost the cupcakes. Any ideas? Also I'm not allowed to use a double-boiler 1. Because I do not have one in my house. 2. My mother does not let me use it(i'm only 15 years old).

I do not own a double boiler. I was wondering does that make a difference because I was planning on just melting the white chocolate in a microwave.

I've never had luck making frosting, and this recipe turned out perfect. Light and fluffy without being runny or stiff. I don't own a double boiler, so I microwaved the chocolate to where it was just melting and then placed it on top of the oven to finish melting.

I'm gonna make this frosting for my sister's birthday but I'm wondering if I need to keep the cake in the fridge to keep a perfect frosting...can I keep the cake at room temperature after I frost it?
