White Chocolate Buttercream

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

1. 1

   Break the white chocolate (200g) and melt it over a bain marie (in a bowl over a pan of simmering water).

2. 2

   Once the chocolate has melted, remove the bowl from the pan and leave the chocolate to cool.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Your buttercream is now ready to use.
