🍫 What Is White Chocolate?
White chocolate is made from:
- Cocoa butter (the fat from cocoa beans)
- Sugar
- Milk solids
- Vanilla or flavoring
Unlike milk or dark chocolate, it does not contain cocoa solids, which is why it’s creamy, sweet, and pale ivory in color.
Good-quality white chocolate should list cocoa butter (not just vegetable oils) as the main fat.
🔥 How to Melt White Chocolate (Without Burning It)
White chocolate is more delicate than dark chocolate. Here’s the safe way:
Microwave Method
- Chop chocolate into small pieces.
- Microwave 15–20 seconds at a time, stirring between each.
- Stop when it’s 90% melted, then stir until smooth.
Double Boiler Method
- Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Set it over a pot of gently simmering water (don’t let bowl touch water).
- Stir until melted and smooth.
Tip: Add 1 tsp coconut oil or butter to make it smoother.
