Mum and I made my favourite chocolate cupcakes in honour of my friend SH's baby shower. In lieu of the normal coffee buttercream I wanted to find a simpler icing. SH is generally unable to eat cream so a ganache was out, pregancy overruled a cream cheese icing and so I searched for a white chocolate icing.
I found this recipe and thought that I would give it a crack!
30g white chocolate
1 tablespoon water
115g icing sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and melt.
Turn off the heat and gradually add the icing sugar, water and essence, stirring as you go.
Reheat icing as needed.
Notes
- The icing cooled pretty quickly so the last few cakes just crumbled when Mum tried to ice them.
- Yum. But I would still like to find a recipe for icing that looks a little prettier.
