My White Chocolate Recipe Without Cocoa Butter
After trying out a few different recipes, I found that this one worked best for me:
- 1 cup of milk powder
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Mix the milk powder and powdered sugar together in a bowl.
- Melt the coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave.
- Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a mold or onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
And that’s it! This recipe yields about 8 ounces of white chocolate. I prefer using coconut oil because it gives the white chocolate a subtle coconut flavor. You can also add in some chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture.
