Questions about White chocolate candy

Is white chocolate really chocolate?

It is made with cocoa butter, sugar and milk, but contains no cocoa solids—the part that gives dark and milk chocolate their brown colour and cocoa flavour. That is why it is ivory-coloured and tastes creamy and sweet.

How do you melt white chocolate without it going grainy?

Chop it finely and melt it gently in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, keeping the bowl clear of the water. Stir often and take it off the heat while a few small pieces remain; residual warmth will melt them. Even a little water or overheating can make it seize.

Can you use white chocolate in baking?

Yes: fold chopped pieces into cookies, blondies or muffins, or melt it for a cheesecake topping. It burns more readily than dark chocolate, so use gentle heat and stir it into warm mixtures off the hob rather than boiling it.

How should you store white chocolate?

Keep it tightly wrapped in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from strong-smelling foods. Avoid the fridge, where condensation can leave it sticky or blotchy; if your kitchen is very warm, seal it well before chilling and let it return to room temperature before unwrapping.

What flavours go well with white chocolate?

Its creamy sweetness pairs especially well with tart raspberries, passion fruit and lemon, and with toasted nuts such as pistachios. Try it in raspberry blondies or drizzle it over fruit; a pinch of salt can keep the sweetness from dominating.

Can you substitute white chocolate chips for a white chocolate bar?

Yes, but chips are designed to hold their shape, so they may not melt as smoothly as chopped bar chocolate. For ganache or a glossy coating, use chopped white chocolate bar; for cookies and muffins, chips work well.

Does white chocolate contain milk?

Usually, yes: milk powder or other milk ingredients are common, so it is not suitable for someone with a milk allergy. It may also contain soya lecithin, and recipes differ, so check the ingredient list if you need to avoid an allergen.

How much sugar is in white chocolate?

A 14 g spoonful contains 8.3 g of sugars. White chocolate is mostly sweetened cocoa butter and milk ingredients, so even a small piece can taste quite sweet.
