它是什么？

Technically not chocolate at all, white chocolate consists of cocoa butter mixed with sugar, milk solids, and flavorings. It doesn’t have the intense, deep flavors of real chocolate, but its mellow sweetness and pale color give it an important place in the sweet kitchen, especially when used together with another type of chocolate. To be sold as white chocolate, it must contain at least 20 percent cocoa butter.

与“白芯片”或“白色烘焙吧”之类的名称出售。这些是用植物油制成的，代替了一些或全部可可黄油。它们还可能包含更多的糖和搅拌的人造调味剂。

Two of our favorite white chocolate brands are Green & Black’s and Lindt.
