  • White Chocolate has many traits of traditional chocolate, but cannot be considered a chocolate product as it contains no chocolate liquor. Its chocolate flavor comes instead from cocoa butter, its main ingredient.

    The cocoa butter is supplemented with sugar, butterfat and milk solids.

  • Cooking with White Chocolate

    The chemical composition of white chocolate makes it difficult to manage during baking. Without the presence of chocolate liquor, the cocoa butter can occasionally melt too fast and create unwanted oils on top of the product.

    White chocolate remains solid if continually stirred and prevented from mixing with water or other liquids.

  • Fake White Chocolate

    Prepackaged white chocolate or white chocolate chips are often solved and used in baking, though these varieties often contain little or no cocoa butter, and thus can be difficult to melt.
