Things You'll Need

• 10oz White Chocolate
• 4 Egg Whites
• 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 lb Butter

Instructions

1. First you need to make sure you have White Chocolate that has "Cocoa Butter" as one of the first two ingredients on the package.

2. Take the chocolate and place it into a bowl and place the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Be careful not to let any water get into the chocolate or it will bind up. You may also place the chocolate into a microwave safe bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and microwave for 10 seconds at a time. Removing it after each 10 seconds and stir.

3. Take the egg whites and beat till soft peaks form. Now start to gradually add the sugar a little at a time. When all the sugar has been incorporated beat on high till stiff peaks form.

4. Add the butter a little at a time.

5. Now add the melted white chocolate while beating slowly and then beat till smooth. You're done.

   This will make about 6 Cups of Icing.
