How to Make Vegan White Chocolate – It’s so easy!

INGREDIENTS

What you will need to make your own white chocolate:

2 cups Cacao butter*
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract**
3/4 cups coconut oil
Optional: Pinch of Pink Himalayan salt

PREPARATION

In a heat-proof bowl, add the cacao butter. Place the bowl on top of a saucepan with a few inches of simmering water. Make sure the bowl is not touching the water. Let it melt, while stirring frequently. It takes about 10 minutes, and it will look like oil.
You can now add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and coconut oil (and a pinch of salt if using).
Whisk until fairly smooth, for about 2 minutes.
Once the ingredients have fully blended, you can turn off the heat.
Pour into chocolate molds. Place in the freezer, and wait an hour.
Now that it’s solid, keep your white chocolate in a covered container to store in the fridge or freezer. It’s time for you to enjoy it!

NOTES

*Cacao Butter – If your cacao butter comes in large chunks, you can chop them into smaller pieces so they melt more quickly.

**Vanilla extract – Instead of vanilla flavor you can experiment with other extracts like almond, orange, peppermint, coffee extract, and more.

Topping ideas – You can a few variations like strawberries, chopped nuts, oreo cookie crumbs, dried raspberries, and more. Use the photo below as inspiration.
