My chocolate was pretty sweet and rich, just without that milky flavor of course. Heavy cream will definitely provide a milky flavor, just not any health benefits. If you add the heavy cream, make sure to add a tiny bit more cocoa butter and erythritol so it doesn't affect the liquid:solid ratio.<br />Good luck!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223230303706425812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834578705911913617.post-73384038735900968122013-01-22T14:37:35.269-05:002013-01-22T14:37:35.269-05:00For some reason it won't let me hit reply, I t...For some reason it won't let me hit reply, I think the javascript is not working in my browser.<br /><br />Thanks for your response! I have so been craving white chocolate, so I am determined to make this recipe work!<br /><br />Yes the stove was hot and the butter was completely melted, but it wouldn't dissolve and the way and I got this horrible grainy texture. I also got really bad separation where I had basically a layer of erythritol and a layer of cacao butter. Very unappetixing.<br /><br />I made a third batch where I sifted the erythritol into my blender, added the vanilla beans and milk powder, then poured in the fully melted hot cacao butter. I blended this for a minute, then while still blending I added about 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum to emulsify it. The resulting texture was sooooo much better! The chocolate isn't grainy, and it didn't separate.<br /><br />However, I still find the favor kind of lacking :/ I am wondering how to get it a little closer to a traditional white chocolate (think Lindt) with more of a creamy flavor. Do you think it would work to add some more milk powder, or even heavy cream (which may be a bad word on your blog, but I am on the keto diet so it's ok for me)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834578705911913617.post-18419793867063701322013-01-20T21:27:45.043-05:002013-01-20T21:27:45.043-05:00Was the stove hot enough?

Maybe try whisking the mixture on the stove for a longer period of time. I hope this works!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223230303706425812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834578705911913617.post-10390914011614597842013-01-19T22:08:47.300-05:002013-01-19T22:08:47.300-05:00I had some trouble with this recipe.

I need to buy that cookbook! And Tiramisu sounds challenging D:<br />I'm still working up the courage to make a classic brownie recipe because I'm scared of the almost FOR SURE failure ;) I will probably open the oven to chocolate goo or a burnt square brick...<br /><br />I haven't made any of Hannah's recipes, but I pinned this recipe a while back (http://bittersweetblog.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/to-post-or-not-to-post/), it looks delicious!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223230303706425812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834578705911913617.post-86809393777886965672012-12-17T02:40:23.965-05:002012-12-17T02:40:23.965-05:00Oh, I can't wait to try this and I have almost...Oh, I can't wait to try this and I have almost all the ingredients in my pantry. I hope Swerve can sub for the powdered E+ in the recipe.<br /><br />So Hannah Kaminsky's recipe for white chocolate inspired you! I have her book My Sweet Vegan. One of my favorite recipes in the book, is the Root Beer Float cupcakes. How I would love to see that converted to a gluten free, and sugar substitute recipe. Have you been inspired to convert anything else of hers? How about the Green Tea Tiramisu? I never made that but it sure looks interesting!<br /><br />Thanks for all the cool ideas Jessica. Your recipes are fun to look at and try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834578705911913617.post-15984847910797596922012-09-25T15:23:17.047-04:002012-09-25T15:23:17.047-04:00I've been meaning to make homemade white choco...I've been meaning to make homemade white chocolate!
