Questions about White chocolate chips
How do you stop white chocolate chips from melting into biscuits?
Fold them into the dough just before baking, and chill the shaped dough if it feels warm. Chips are made to hold their shape better than chopped chocolate, though they will soften in the oven.
Can you melt white chocolate chips for a drizzle or dipping?
Yes. Heat them in a dry bowl in short bursts on low power, stirring between each, and stop while a few pieces remain so the residual heat finishes the melting. Even a little water or steam can make melted white chocolate seize.
Can you use white chocolate chips in muffins and pancakes?
Yes. Fold them into muffin batter just before baking, or scatter them over pancake batter once it is in the pan. They pair especially well with raspberries, blueberries and lemon.
What can you use instead of white chocolate chips?
Chop a white chocolate bar into small pieces and use the same weight; the pieces may melt more than chips. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free white chocolate drops that are labelled suitable for your needs.
How should you store white chocolate chips?
Keep them in a tightly closed packet or container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight and strong smells. Refrigeration can cause condensation and a pale surface bloom when they warm up.
Are white chocolate chips actually chocolate?
They are made with cocoa butter, sugar and usually milk ingredients, but contain no cocoa solids, which give dark and milk chocolate their brown colour and characteristic flavour. Some baking chips use other vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter.
Can dogs eat white chocolate chips?
No—keep them away from dogs. White chocolate has much less theobromine than dark chocolate, but its fat and sugar can still cause problems, and a large amount may be harmful.
