Here’s a simple recipe for making creamy white chocolate at home:
Homemade Creamy White Chocolate Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240g) cocoa butter
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (100g) milk powder (or condensed milk for extra creaminess)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Melt the Cocoa Butter:
- Place the cocoa butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until completely melted. You can also melt the cocoa butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and milk powder. If you’re using condensed milk instead of milk powder, just skip this step.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Once the cocoa butter is melted, add the sifted powdered sugar and milk powder mixture to the bowl. Stir continuously until everything is well combined and smooth. If using condensed milk, add it to the melted cocoa butter and mix thoroughly.
- Add Vanilla and Salt:
- Stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor. You can also add a small pinch of salt if desired to enhance the sweetness.
- Pour and Set:
- Pour the mixture into chocolate molds, a silicone mold, or a lined baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill:
- Allow the white chocolate to set in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, or until it is firm to the touch.
- Unmold and Serve:
- Once set, carefully remove the white chocolate from the molds and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh.
Tips for a Creamier Texture:
- For a super creamy texture, you can add a bit of milk fat (like heavy cream) or increase the amount of condensed milk if you opt for that instead of milk powder.
- Adjust the sweetness by tweaking the powdered sugar to your taste.
Enjoy your homemade creamy white chocolate!
