Different Types of Chocolate
So, if you’ve wondered what the difference is between varieties of chocolate here’s a quick rundown. Each type of chocolate is produced differently so, there’s a significant difference in flavor. Regardless, they all have their place in baking and white chocolate is a delicious flavor option.
- Milk chocolate contains milk and dairy fat in addition to cocoa solids, which gives it a creamy texture and lighter color.
- Dark chocolate is comprised of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar. It has a semi-sweet flavor with a very slight bitterness.
- White chocolate is made from cocoa butter, milk, sugar and vanilla. It contains no cocoa solids at all so technically, it isn’t chocolate. You can read more about white chocolate here on Bon Appetit.
How to Make the BEST White Chocolate Brownies Recipe
- Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade White Chocolate Brownies: White chocolate baking chocolate, butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, large eggs, all purpose flour, salt and white chocolate chips.
- Kitchen tools you’ll need: Hand mixer, medium bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, rubber spatula and 8×8 pan.
- Use a quality white baking chocolate as well as white chocolate chips. Different brands can have varying amounts of fat content, and a lesser quality could make white chocolate desserts seem greasy.
- Mix the chips through the batter thoroughly. It’s a wet batter by design, and it’s important to evenly distribute the white chocolate chips. If they clump in one area, the brownies won’t bake evenly.
- You could add 1/2 cup toasted nuts such as walnuts, macadamia nuts or pecans to the batter, too.
- When testing these for doneness, look for moist crumbs. It’s important not to over bake these, or any brownies.
- Depending on the baking chips, they may melt completely into the batter. This doesn’t mean something went wrong, it’s just the nature of these brownies.
- These brownies turn out very moist and buttery. Along that same train of thought, you may also enjoy my recipe for butterscotch brownies.
- Store White Chocolate Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
