Understanding Vegan White Chocolate:
Vegan white chocolate is made without any animal-derived ingredients, such as milk or butter. Instead, plant-based alternatives are used to create a creamy and indulgent texture. Common ingredients in vegan white chocolate include:
-
Cocoa Butter: This natural fat extracted from cocoa beans is essential for the creamy texture and smooth melt of white chocolate.
-
Sugar: Provides sweetness and acts as a binding agent.
-
Plant-Based Milk Powder: Almond, oat, rice or soy milk powder can be used to add a creamy and milky flavour.
-
Lecithin: A natural emulsifier that helps to blend the ingredients together.
