White chocolate is not my first choice of chocolate that I would choose.
But I came up with the recipe for this white chocolate frosting years ago, because so many for my readers love white chocolate, and have asked a recipe for it.
I have made this frosting in all my cupcake class for all my students and they loved it, They say it reminds them of Kinder egg if you know what that taste like.
I have mentioned it before I don’t like buttercream, but combining buttercream with cream cheese or mascarpone, and lots of vanilla and good quality of white chocolate will still give you a delicious frosting that does not taste that much like buttercream.
This frosting is still not my favorite, just because I don’t like any frosting with butter, but for you that love White chocolate, you will defiantly love this recipe.
Make sure when you make this, that the melted chocolate is cooled down, completely.
And that you start off with cold butter and use cold mascarpone, this will give you frosting a great consistency when you pipe.
Always have this in mind, from my experience teaching a cupcake class in Dubai where it is so hot, if you live in a hot country, and the frosting is runny because of the heat, put the mixing bowl in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes and then whip it up again!
WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW HOW TO MAKE THIS FROSTING.
