see recipe for White Chocolate, Vegan, listed separately & also following this one
Ingredients
- 3 Ounces White Chocolate
- 1 10.14 Ounce Container Whippable Soy (or Oat) Cream (divided)
- 3/4 Teaspoon Agar Agar Powder
Preparation
Step 1
Melt your white chocolate with 2.5 ounces of the cream, stir vigorously to combine in a smooth liquid, and let cool for 10 minutes or so. In your stand mixer, whip the remaining cream for 3 – 4 minutes to form soft peaks, and slowly stream in melted chocolate mixture down the side. It will become some what liquid-y and appear to have gone awry, but try not to panic. Sprinkle the agar on top, whisk to fully combine, and place the whole bowl in your fridge for 30 minutes. Once thoroughly chilled, whip for 5 – 6 more minutes until fluffy but firm and serve. At this stage you could also pipe it into bowls and refrigerate for up to 6 more hours before serving.

1/4 Cup (2 Ounces) Cocoa Butter
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Paste (or Extract… I just like the way the flecks of real vanilla bean look)
⅓ Cup Confectioner’s Sugar
½ Teaspoon Soymilk Powder
Pinch Salt
Place your cocoa butter in a microwave-safe bowl and nuke it for just a minute or two, so that it liquefies. Be sure to keep an eye on it at all times, as it has a much lower melting point than a bar of finished chocolate. Once completely melted, quickly stir in the remaining ingredients, being thorough so as to break up any clumps of sugar and completely dissolve everything into the molten fat. Don’t worry if it looks rather yellow at this stage, just pour everything into your molds and it will be alright. Tap the molds on the counter lightly so as to remove any air bubbles, and don’t even think about touching them again for the next few hours while they set up. I highly recommend parking them in the fridge to speed up the process…
