White chocolate might seem like it’s just made of milk and sugar, but there’s a bit more to it. Yes, it does contain milk and sugar, but it also has cocoa butter. Cocoa butter comes from cocoa beans, just like regular chocolate, but without the cocoa solids that give dark and milk chocolate their brown color and intense flavor. So, white chocolate has a creamy, sweet taste because of the milk and sugar, and its smooth texture comes from cocoa butter. It’s like a sweeter, milder cousin of dark and milk chocolate. I hope that helps you understand what makes white chocolate!
