What it is
Ivory chocolate is a type of white chocolate made with a higher percentage of cocoa butter than standard white chocolate. It is produced by carefully heating cocoa beans to release their fat, which is then mixed with sugar and milk solids. This process creates a richer, more complex flavor profile.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use ivory chocolate for its creamy texture and rich, buttery taste. It is often found in premium chocolate bars, truffles, and as a coating for desserts and pastries. Its distinct flavor makes it a popular choice for confectionery and baking applications.
Health notes
Ivory chocolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a type of chocolate, it contains sugar and fat, and its consumption should be considered within the context of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, but specific evaluations for 'ivory chocolate' as a distinct ingredient are not separately listed.
Allergen info
Ivory chocolate is not derived from one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
