White Chocolate Icing
*I started with a real recipesand then I just went wild with my own version of it. The recipe I made was enough icing to be VERY generous on the cake with only a bit left over to eat at the end.
12 oz. white chocolate
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
3/4 bag of powdered sugar
1/4 to 1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt

melt chocolate over the stove (glass bowl over a larger pan with boiling water) and set aside to cool, but not harden (put it in the fridge to speed things up)

mix 2-3 cups powdered sugar, butter, milk, vanilla and salt in a medium to large bowl, until well incorporated but just a bit runny.

add in half of the white chocolate and mix.

play with consistency of the icing by adding more sugar and the rest of the white chocolate, with a bit of extra milk as needed.

consistently taste the icing adding more of whatever ingredient is necessary to make it divine.
