Questions about White chocolate
How do you melt white chocolate without burning it?
Chop it finely and melt it in a dry bowl over barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Take it off the heat while a few small pieces remain and stir until smooth; white chocolate scorches easily.
Can you melt white chocolate in the microwave?
Yes. Chop it, microwave it in a dry bowl for 15–20 seconds at a time, and stir thoroughly between bursts; stop while a few pieces remain and let the residual heat melt them.
How should you store white chocolate?
Keep it tightly wrapped in a cool, dry, dark place, away from strong smells and heat. Refrigeration can cause condensation and a pale, streaky surface when it warms up.
What goes well with white chocolate?
Its creamy sweetness works especially well with sharp fruit such as raspberries, passion fruit and citrus. Use it in cheesecake, fruit tarts, blondies or a coating for strawberries.
What can you use instead of white chocolate in baking?
Milk chocolate is an easy swap when you want a chocolate flavour, but it will make the result darker and less sweet-tasting. For a similar pale colour, use a white chocolate baking product rather than ordinary chocolate.
Does white chocolate contain cocoa?
It is made with cocoa butter, the fat extracted from cacao beans, but it contains no cocoa solids—the part that gives milk and dark chocolate their brown colour and characteristic flavour.
Does white chocolate contain milk?
Most white chocolate contains milk powder or other milk ingredients, so it is not suitable for someone with a milk allergy. Some products may also contain soya lecithin; check the ingredients for the specific product.
