What is White Chocolate?
White Chocolate is a type of chocolate that does not contain cocoa. Unlike traditional dark or milk chocolate, white chocolate is made from sugar, milk powder and fat which can be butter or coconut oil or ghee. The key ingredient in white chocolate is cocoa butter but it is not available here so I usually use coconut oil as a healthy alternate.
When I was looking out for homemade white chocolate recipe there were many which used more of sugar and that’s not I wanted. So I started experimenting with different measures and in my third attempt I nailed the recipe and after that it has become my keeper so sharing it here for you all to enjoy too.
