What it is

White chocolate is a confection made from cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. Unlike dark or milk chocolate, it does not contain cocoa solids, which are responsible for the brown color and chocolate flavor in other types. It has a creamy texture and a sweet, vanilla-like taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use white chocolate for its sweet flavor and creamy texture, often as a coating or inclusion in desserts. It is commonly found in ice cream, cookies, cakes, and confectionery bars. It can also be melted and used as a drizzle or flavoring agent.

Health notes

White chocolate is primarily a source of sugar and fat. The US FDA lists cocoa butter as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cocoa butter and set acceptable daily intake levels. While generally safe in moderation, excessive consumption of white chocolate can contribute to high sugar and calorie intake, which is linked to health concerns like weight gain and dental issues.

Allergen info

White chocolate contains milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless added during processing.
