How do you make white chocolate from scratch?

Answer 1

Depends on what you define as "chocolate". True white chocolate contains cocoa butter but no defatted cocoa solids. If you believe the latter is what makes it chocolate, there is no chocolate in white chocolate. If you believe any chocolate product in white chocolate qualifies, there is chocolate in it. So: to get white chocolate, here's what happens.

After the cocoa beans have been roasted and ground, they're either pressed or hung to extract the cocoa butter. Then, the cocoa butter gets mixed with whole milk powder, sugar, and some vanilla, along with, usually, a little soy lecithin. This viscous mix is then put into large vats called "conchs", and just like other chocolates, slopped around in them (the technical term is "conching" long enough for it to become completely smooth. Then it's brought carefully to a specified temperature("tempered") and poured into the moulds for blocs, bars, etc.

So there's the process, basically an alteration of the same methods used for milk chocolate. Most manufacturers actually buy their cocoa butter from elsewhere, but a few use their own.

How is white chocolate made?

White chocolate is made the same way as milk chocolate and dark chocolate -- the difference is the ingredients. In fact, because of the ingredients, many people (including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) don't consider "white chocolate" to be chocolate at all.
Aphrodite Handmade Chocolate and HowStuffWorks.com both describe the chocolate-making process in detail. It all begins with the cacao tree, which grows in equatorial areas of South America, Africa, and Asia. The seeds of the tree's fruits are the cocoa beans, which are harvested, fermented for six or seven days, and then dried. The highest quality chocolate comes from cocoa beans that are dried naturally in the sun for a week -- shorter, artificial drying yields inferior chocolate. Next, the beans are roasted, and the shells are removed. Then the cocoa is ground, resulting in a thick liquid called chocolate liquor (it's not alcoholic). This liquor is used to make unsweetened chocolate.

For other chocolaty purposes, the liquor is pressed to extract the fat, which is called cocoa butter. With the fat removed, the liquor becomes a powder that is blended with the cocoa butter and other ingredients to make different kinds of chocolate. Plain chocolate is made of cocoa powder, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, and sugar. Milk chocolate, of course, has milk added. White chocolate is made of cocoa butter, milk, and sugar.

After the ingredients are mixed, the product is further refined to create chocolate suitable for solid bars and pieces. It's mixed, heated, and cooled very precisely in methods called "conching" and "tempering." These processes can take up to a week for the finest chocolates.

Because white chocolate has no cocoa solids from the chocolate liquor, the FDA doesn't classify it as chocolate. However, the organization is working with chocolate manufacturers to establish a standard definition for white chocolate. Until a standard is published, check labels and beware of "white chocolate" that contains vegetable fat instead of cocoa butter. The quality and taste are inferior.
