INGREDIENTS

  • 250 g unsalted butter - soft at room temperature
  • 250 g icing sugar
  • 200 g white chocolate
  • A little milk - to get the buttercream to the right consistency, this may not be needed

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Break the white chocolate (200g) and melt it over a bain marie (in a bowl over a pan of simmering water).
  • Once the chocolate has melted, remove the bowl from the pan and leave the chocolate to cool.
  • Beat the butter (250g) on a low speed until soft and then add the icing sugar (250g), 1 tbsp at a time and beat until fully combined.
  • Once the white chocolate has cooled to room temperature pour it into the butter and sugar mixture and beat on a low speed until fully combined. You should find that the buttercream has a soft, spreadable consistency, if not add a little milk a tsp at a time until it is soft.
  • Your buttercream is now ready to use.

NOTES

This recipe makes enough icing for 12 cupcakes or to fill and coat a 2-layer 20cm round cake.
Here I’ve used this icing on my easy chocolate cupcakes, but it would go brilliantly on all sorts of cakes. Take a look at my mix-and-match cupcake creator to find all my recipes.
