FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
WHAT IS THE TEXTURE OF THIS?
This homemade white chocolate sauce is smooth and pourable at first, but as it cools, it thickens.
It’s kind of like hot fudge but made with white chocolate.
The longer it sits, the thicker it gets, so you can use it thin or let it cool for a more spoonable texture.
I guess it really just depends on what you’re planning on using it for!
WHAT CAN I USE THIS WITH?
So many things!
Especially if you’re a big fan of white chocolate.
It’s perfect on ice cream, pancakes, waffles, fruit, or stirred into hot coffee or hot chocolate.
Try it in your white chocolate mocha or drizzle it over brownies.
It also makes a great dip for strawberries or bananas.
I’d say just try it on anything that sounds good. Experiment a bit and find the right fit!
