White chocolate cream cheese frosting

6 oz white chocolate, coarsely chopped (I just used white chocolate chips)
4 oz cream cheese (reduced fat works fine)
4 T stick butter
2-2 1/2 C confectioners sugar, sifted

1)Place chocolate in glass bowl, microwave for 1 minute. Stir till smooth.
2) Place cream cheese and butter in bowl, beat with mixer till blended. Add white chocolate till smooth.
3) Add the confectioners sugar and blend on low for 30 seconds. Increase to medium speed and blend till fluffy. Beat one minute more adding up to 1/2 cup more sugar if needed to make frosting spreadable.



Side note-I used a 1M tip to pipe the frosting on. Also, I mixed the frosting in my kitchenaid with the wire beater.
