White Chocolate Buttercream
Recipe By: Death By Chocolate
12 ounces white chocolate chips
12 ounces unsalted butter, room temp
6 egg whites
6 tablespoons sugar
Melt chocolate in microwave, and let cool to room temp. Beat the butter in large mixing bowl on medium for 2 minutes, then on high for another 5 minutes. Mix cooled chocolate into butter and blend well.
Place egg whites and sugar in top of double boiler. Whisk together and heat until they reach 120¼F on stovetop (about 2 1/2-3 minutes). Transfer heated egg whites to electric mixer fitted with balloon whip. Whisk on high until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
Fold egg whites into the chocolate butter mixture. Use to frost cake - excellent on chocolate cake.
TIP: make sure butter is not cold, or it will cause melted chocolate to clump up.
