Mom Tips

The exact amount of cream is 120 ml.

To know: In reality, white chocolate is a sweet.

White chocolate is composed of cocoa butter with fats, sugar and milk powder. The sweet does not use cocoa beans in its composition, which is the main ingredient in chocolates.

As it has a high fat content, it melts faster, but it also lumps or cooks faster. Therefore, it is always necessary to melt it very slowly. I personally don’t like melting chocolate in the microwave. In a double boiler, do not let the water in the double boiler boil; When balls form in the water, remove from heat. The heat from the steam is enough to melt the chocolate. Slowly stir the chocolate (do not beat) until it melts. This is where patience comes in. Perhaps depending on the amount of chocolate to be melted, you will have to repeat the operation of heating the water.

In the microwave, do not add too much chocolate at once to melt; add little by little and check every 15 seconds, stirring the chocolate.
Both in the microwave and in the bain-marie, we shouldn’t heat the chocolate too much; “burns” the chocolate.
