White Chocolate Sauce Recipe —How to Make
Once you have all the ingredients, you will also need the following tools:
Medium pan
Spoon or spatula
Airtight containers, such as mason jars
- Stewed milk
In a saucepan, bring the cream to a boil over medium heat. You don’t want it to boil or turn into a rolling boil. Once it starts to boil, remove it from heat.
- Add white chocolate
Add the white chocolate to the hot cream. Blend until smooth. You have to stir vigorously to make sure the white chocolate is well mixed together.
- Add butter
After the white chocolate and cream are fully combined, add the butter. The sauce should still be hot so it will slowly melt the butter. Stir well into the sauce.
- Pour into container
Let the white chocolate spread cool slightly, then pour it into an airtight container, such as a mason jar. I recommend using a funnel to help pour it into your tank.
