FAQs:
Why white chocolate is not melting?
Because white chocolate is so finicky, it can easily seize if steam or water gets into the bowl while you’re melting the chocolate, or if it overcooks.
Is white chocolate artificially made?
White chocolate comes from the same cocoa beans as regular chocolate but bypasses several of the production steps. White chocolate does not have cocoa or chocolate liquor. White chocolate made of cocoa butter blended with a combination of sugar, cream, milk and vanilla flavoring.
Why is white chocolate so good?
White chocolate also contains more fat than the other types of chocolate because of the high amounts of cocoa butter. Aside from this luxurious mouth-coating aspect, white chocolate offers eaters a more delicate flavor that can highlight other ingredients well, especially floral, citrus, and light berry flavors.
What is 100% white chocolate?
White chocolate does not have cocoa solids as an ingredient. Instead, the main ingredient in white chocolate is cocoa butter. Sugar and milk powder combine with cocoa butter for a distinct creaminess you won’t find in the other chocolate treats.
Why is white chocolate so expensive?
The ivory color of white chocolate comes from cocoa butter, which naturally has that yellowish-white tone. This higher amount of cocoa butter makes white chocolate often more expensive than the other types. It is thanks to this fat that white chocolate has a very soft and creamy texture.
