White Chocolate

White Chocolate is a sweet confection made from cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids, commonly used in baking, candy and dessert coatings. It is known for its creamy texture and pale ivory color, and is popular in pastries and confections where a milder chocolate flavor is desired. Nutritionally, White Chocolate is high in sugar with about 59.3g per 100g and is also relatively rich in saturated fat; it does contribute some milk-derived protein and calcium but is energy-dense and best used in small portions. From a health perspective, white chocolate delivers milk proteins with a good amino-acid profile and provides some calcium, but because of its high sugar and saturated fat content it’s more of an occasional treat than a regular staple.
