 | White chocolate is made the same way as milk chocolate and dark chocolate -- the difference is the ingredients. In fact, because of the ingredients, many people (including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) don't consider "white chocolate" to be chocolate at all.
Because white chocolate has no cocoa solids from the chocolate liquor, the FDA doesn't classify it as chocolate. However, the organization is working with chocolate manufacturers to establish a standard definition for white chocolate. Until a standard is published, check labels and beware of "white chocolate" that contains vegetable fat instead of cocoa butter. The quality and taste are inferior. |
However, many people enjoy white chocolate and white chocolate can look beautiful flowing from a chocolate fountain at a wedding reception, it makes a great garnish for chocolates, can be used for cakes and makes a very nice smooth ganache center for chocolate truffles.
