Ingredients

1/2 cup salted butter room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Add the white chocolate chips to a microwave safe container and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until only a few small lumps of chocolate remain. Continue to stir until the white chocolate is completely smooth. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature if at all warm.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter and beat with the paddle or whisk attachment until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes. Add the room temperature cream cheese and beat again until light and fluffy, or about 2 minutes more. Slowly drizzle the room temperature melted white chocolate and the vanilla extract into the butter and cream cheese mixture and mix until light and fluffy again.
Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time on low speed, mixing until fully incorporated each time. Once all powdered sugar has been added, beat on high for about 30 seconds until it is light and fluffy.
Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
