THE PERFECT WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate chips and heavy cream together either in the microwave in 15-second increments or over a double boiler. Make sure to just heat until incorporated, not hot. Set aside.
• In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, slowly mix the room temperature butter and vanilla together while slowly adding the powdered sugar. Slowly pour in the white chocolate ganache with the mixer still on low. At this point, the chocolate should be slightly warm but not hot. Add more powdered sugar, if it's not the right consistency. It should be creamy yet firm enough to pipe.
