I’ve always had a weak spot for white chocolate. I even have fond childhood memories of picking through the (wrapped) candy bowl in search of the white Lindor truffles that may be buried in there. I’m not a white chocolate snob though – I’ll totally eat a plain white chocolate bar just as happily. And now, thanks to my new recipe, that can be low carb sugar-free white chocolate.
Purists might complain that white chocolate is not “real” chocolate since it doesn’t include cocoa powder, but I’d have to respectfully disagree. It’s still made with cocoa butter, so I say that totally counts.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find a good sugar-free white chocolate bar on the market. I wish I could buy them ready-to-eat, the way I do my beloved milk chocolate bars at Trader Joe’s, but they don’t make a white chocolate version.
That could only mean one thing – it was time to make my own!
When I first set out to make my own sugar-free white chocolate, I pored through ingredient lists for white chocolate bars I liked to find the common ground. I figured that would point me in the right direction of how to make my sugar-free white chocolate.
Of course, they were all made with sugar, cocoa butter, milk, vanilla (or unfortunately synthetic vanilla flavor called vanillin), and often lecithin as a stabilizer. This list was far from ideal, but I had to start somewhere.
It was time to make some ingredient replacements. I’d previously heard somewhere (wish I remembered where!) that the milk listed on chocolate bars was actually milk powder to avoid introducing excess liquid, so I knew that was what I had to use.
Originally I made this sugar-free white chocolate recipe with whole milk powder. After a reader suggested heavy cream powder, I changed it to that instead to lower carbs more. And, it tastes better.
Otherwise, I made the natural swaps of erythritol for sugar and real vanilla extract for vanillin. Make sure to use powdered erythritol, so that your sugar-free white chocolate is not grainy.
I skipped the stabilizer in my original recipe. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. The low carb white chocolate recipe ended up causing problems for people. Sure enough, when I tried to make it again, the chocolate didn’t emulsify properly.
As a result, I modified the steps to include sunflower lecithin. I figured that would help since most commercial chocolate bars contain soy lecithin. I opted for the sunflower kind to avoid soy. Just a teeny-tiny bit worked wonders!
I threw in a pinch of sea salt for depth, but you can skip it if you’d like.
Once I had the ingredient list figured out, it was simply a matter of testing out different ingredient ratios, primarily the relationship between cocoa butter and heavy cream powder. Both contribute to the unique flavor we know and love in white chocolate.
I settled at a ratio of one tablespoon of powder per ounce of cocoa butter – a wonderful combination of smoothness and white-chocolatiness. In addition, my revised sugar-free white chocolate recipe includes a tablespoon of coconut oil. I found that this helped to make it creamier.
So, are you ready to make your own sugar-free white chocolate bars? With the holidays coming up, having a sugar-free, healthier option for white chocolate is much-needed. I’ll bet these keto white chocolates and keto chocolate bars would be so cute wrapped up as little gifts, too.

Tools To Make Sugar-free White Chocolate:
Click the links below to see the items used to make this recipe.
- Double boiler – For melting the cocoa butter and coconut oil. Highly, highly recommend this, otherwise there’s a good chance the chocolate will burn or separate.
- Chocolate bar molds – I like this pack because it’s 4 for one low price. And, the chocolates pop out effortless because they are food-grade silicone.
- Chocolate chip molds – If you want white chocolate chips, this mold makes the same shape as real store-bought ones!
- Sunflower lecithin – Many people aren’t sure where to get this, so I wanted to point it out here. This is the one I use. It’s a must to stabilize the sugar-free white chocolate and help keep it smooth.
- Heavy cream powder – This is harder to find in stores. I buy it here online for making low carb white chocolate. Plus, you can reconstitute it with water to use as actual heavy cream in recipes.

Cut the cocoa butter into small pieces, no larger than 1/2 in (1.3 cm) in any direction. This important to prevent overheating the outside when melting.
Place the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and sunflower lecithin into a small saucepan. Melt on the stove over VERY low heat. Do not allow it to simmer or boil. (Even better, use a double boiler if you can.) Remove from heat once melted.
- Stir in the sweetener, until dissolved. Stir in the cream powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt, until smooth.
- Pour into chocolate molds (or onto a small parchment lined pan). Refrigerate until hardened. Keep refrigerated for best results.

I agree with you
Ann
Hi!!
Love your recipes!!
I have been trying to make chocolate shells for ice cream and would like to use your sugarfree white chocolate.. How much coconut oil do I add to a bar and should I use the lecithin?
I need your guidance.. thank you so much in advance!!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Ann, The recipe will work as-is for chocolate shells. If you prefer the chocolate to be a bit thinner to work with, you can add an additional tablespoon of coconut oil. The lecithin helps to keep the chocolate emulsified, so I would continue to use it for this purpose. Best of luck!
Jessica
I have heard that allulose sweetener acts more like regular sugar than any other alternative sweetener.
I was wondering if you have ever used allulose in any of your recipes? And do you think it would work well in the white chocolate recipe?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Jessica, I love using allulose; you’ll find it in many recipes on the site. I also have my own blend of Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend! It actually is a rare form of sugar that we can’t absorb, so it has many familiar qualities (i.e. dissolving in liquids or caramelizing). I have not personally tested allulose in this white chocolate, but it should work fine. It may not set as hard, but that won’t make a difference when stored in the fridge. Enjoy!
Amy
How could I make this into a white chocolate sauce?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Amy, If you reduce the amount of cocoa butter and increase the amount of coconut oil, you should be able to get a nice white chocolate sauce.
Jon
Made this tonight, though I used the microwave. Like another poster mentioned, a minute at a time until the cocoa butter was all melted. Everything mixed together smoothly, completely, and easily. Maybe it had something to do with Florida in the summer. Poured it over some protein puffs to make white chocolate crunch bars, and they came out great, except for one problem. Florida in the summertime, they were melting at the least little touch. But a good flavor, and absolutely smashing!
Terri Samudio
Hello do you think that’s a avocado oil work as a substitute for the coconut oil??
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Terri, Unfortunately, that won’t work in this recipe. The chocolate needs an oil that can harden and avocado can’t do that.
Terri Samudio
Ok no problem thank you.
Lisa Doyle
How do these, as white chocolate chips hold up in cookie recipes when baking?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lisa, I recommend freezing your white chocolate chips before using them. They will hold up best this way during the baking process.
Dianna
Hi! Long time reader, first time poster. Have you tried making this with powdered lecithin? I ask because I have powdered sunflower lecithin for something else I make. However, I am unsure of where to find a conversion of powder to liquid or vice versa. Thank you for any insight!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Dianna, Great question! Powdered lecithin should work fine in this recipe. I would cut the amount down by half to 1/8th teaspoon.
Dianna
Thank you so much!
Suzanne Hick
Disaster.
I’m new at making chocolate so didn’t know how to rectify the problem.
I followed the recipe exactly and it wouldn’t become smooth. It stayed lumpy. I put it in molds anyway. The taste test felt gritty and I could feel the coconut oil in my mouth.
Has anyone any idea what went wrong?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Suzanne, You can use a whisk to incorporate ingredients. Also, make sure that there isn’t any water left on your tools before using, water can change the texture and consistency of the final product of your chocolate.
Lisa Bell
What does the Liquid sunflower lecithin do and is there a substitute?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lisa, The sunflower lecithin helps to emulsify and stabilize the chocolate ingredients. You can use either sunflower or soy lecithin for this.
Rekha
Can we make ganache from this white chocolate??
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Rekha, I have not personally tried this, however, it should work the same way that a regular ganache does. Please let us know how it turns out if you decide to try it!
Cush El
I want a harder bar that is less prone to melt. Can I substitute the coconut oil for the cacao butter of the same amount?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Cush El, The coconut oil helps to give the white chocolate a creamier texture, but it is not necessary. You can use all cocoa butter if you wish. It does have a stronger flavor that way.
Sia
Hello! I followed your recipe faithfully and ended up with a strong flavor in my white chocolate. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sia, If you are sensitive to the flavor, then I would try a natural vanilla flavor instead of extract.
Leanne
I read your comments about the coconut oil needed to be “ a form of coconut oil that solidifies, though (refined or unrefined). If you use fractionated coconut oil, the mixture won’t solidify enough.” I was wondering if you have tried coconut butter? It’s solid at room temperature and it hardens when refrigerated I think this may give the end result more of the snap to the chocolate that one person mentioned it still lacks?? Of course you can make your own coconut butter just by putting shredded unsweetened coconut in a food processor and blends until it’s smooth and creamy which I have made but it takes an awful lot of coconut to make a very small amount of butter. I found some on Amazon that I think is exceptional and lovely and creamy. Organic raw Yupik coconut butter. 100% pure coconut cholesterol & trans fat free. 1 kg. Origin Sri Lanka. If you have tried this and it didn’t work I’d love to know and I won’t waste my time. But if you haven’t tried it I will give it a whirl and update you. Please advise.
Wholesome Yum A
I haven’t tried that here, Leanne. Would love to hear if it works!
Leanne
Okay so here’s the scoop so far. Instead of experimenting around since I’ve never tried to make white chocolate before and my knowledge of chocolate making is at the very beginner level, I decided to “follow the recipe sister!” which is what my mom is always telling me because her sister tells her that all the time. Lol! So I followed your recipe to the T and it worked! I didn’t have a problem with getting that nice snap when I unmolded mine however the mold I’m using from Amazon.ca is one with three bars and it’s very thin. I used the exact same quantities as you and I got the three thin bars and about two and a half small trays from a very mini ice cube mold(still waiting on amazon for the “real” choc chip mold to arrive). I did find compared to the unsweetened dark choc recipe that I made the “chips” were a little more difficult to unmold although that could be because I had put them in the fridge instead of the freezer now that I’m thinking about it. Regardless I just had to use the back of a spoon and whack the back of the mold quite a bit but they did mostly come out. One thing I noticed just from the warmth of my hands the little chocolate chips started to melt quite easily. I’m not sure if they would hold up well enough to be used in a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie(which is the thing I’m dying to make sugarfree! Those cravings!!!) I will try to modify the recipe with the cocoa butter to see if it makes any difference as per my previous post. I have to say even after watching your video I was still totally amazed how the heavy cream powder changed the color so dramatically and stayed white. Also as for the gritty texture I added each ingredient separately and I had noticed after adding the erythritol that it initially melted well and then I added the heavy cream powder and I had some “dust” up the side of the pan that I used my plastic whisk and tried to incorporate it into the rest of the pan and when I did that I noticed a gritty texture so I kept stirring and then I got rid of the whisk in favour of a thin plastic spatula and with it off the heat continued to stir it and i noticed the grit did reduce quite a bit and I thought it was good enough and began pouring it into my molds I have to say I was really surprised at how much I got from only 3oz of cacao chunks. I did weigh the cacao so I know it was an exact measurement. I was really surprised at how fantastic it tasted! To be honest I’ve never been a huge fan of white chocolate because just eating it plain (not in a cookie) it just tasted soooo sweet and made my teeth ache thinking about it, but your recipe is INCREDIBLE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Even hubby came in to the kitchen wondering what I was up to when I was whacking away at the back of the choc chip mold….LOL! I asked him if he would like some and I gave him one of the squares and I asked him what he thought “really great, a real chocolate flavour!” I think that’s what surprised me the most. Thank you! Thank you!! For this incredible recipe, I will follow up if I try it with cocoa butter with the cacao chunks. So after enjoying the taste of this my next thought is how about some creamy sugar free milk chocolate?? At first I thought okay why couldn’t I just take my whites chocolate and my dark chocolate and melt them together? But now I’m thinking wouldn’t it be easier to just add some heavy cream powder to the dark chocolate recipe?? Have you made a milk chocolate yet? This chocolate making is fun stuff! I also discovered through my failed experiment at caramel how to make the creamy centers for my homemade boxed style chocolate, and I have been able to flavour and color them. I’m sooo looking forward to giving those to family for Christmas.
Paige Glenn
Hello! With Thanksgiving in just a few weeks, I am searching for a tasty white chocolate covered cranberry recipe that is keto-friendly. Any advice on how to make white chocolate that will do well with dipping?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Paige, You may need to add an additional 1/2 oz of cocoa butter to make this white chocolate more “dip-able.” Also, wait until the chocolate is no longer hot, but warm before dipping. Doing this will create a thicker, more consistent layer.
Tara
So I have now made your no-bake chocolate cheesecake and want to do a white chocolate version for Christmas with raspberry coulee. Do you think this recipe for white chocolate will work in that no-bake cheesecake recipe?
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Tara, I haven’t tried repurposing this in other recipes so I don’t know for certain if it would work. Would love to hear if you try it!
Tiana
I’m sure you haven’t tried this but we are a mostly dairy free family so I was just wondering if you think powdered coconut milk would work in place here? Can’t wait to try out your recipe. Thanks in advance.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Tiana, In theory, the recipe should still work out fine. I have not personally tried making white chocolate using coconut milk powder, so I can’t guarantee results. Please let us know how it turns out if you decide to give it a go!
Jeremy
It looks like the small specks of white in your chocolate came from the cream powder not mixing in well. Did you use a stick blender? Mix by hand?
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Jeremy, see the recipe video for more guidance. I used a spoon, but you could also use a stick blender.
Dylan
Hey!!! I’m new to keto, and, whilst I don’t really miss chocolate, I hate dark chocolate! I found this recipe and figured it would be great drizzled over some fat bombs or something.
I’ve run into an issue though! The milk powder (heavy cream powder doesn’t seem to exist in the UK) makes the chocolate very….grainy feeling. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
Also, I switched out powdered erythritol for stevia drops as I found it made the chocolate even grainier!
Wholesome Yum
Hi Dylan, I suspect it’s your cocoa butter instead of the milk powder (although that might be the problem too — I’ve never worked with it so I don’t know for sure). You might have heated the mixture too hot, which can cause the cocoa butter to crystallize. Try heating as low and slow as you can next time.
RoseAnn Pacheco
Just made this recipe and I am just awaiting it to chill out…I know it will never look as good as yours does in the video..
I was wondering about the measuring out the cocoa butter? I don’t have a scale so I could figure out the exact amount except to see that 3 oz is approximately 18 tsp. But as you have to chop up the cocoa butter before melting it, I hope this was correct?
I also used liquid coconut oil as in the video you used the regular coconut oil?
Thanks for sharing a way to make my very favorite treat.
Wholesome Yum
Hi RoseAnn, I highly recommend a food scale for ingredients like cocoa butter, but measuring in tablespoons would probably be the next best option. You must use a form of coconut oil that solidifies, though (refined or unrefined). If you use fractionated coconut oil, the mixture won’t solidify enough.
Sebastian
Does erythritol usually take a long while to dissolve?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Sebastian, granulated erythritol can be difficult to dissolve. The powdered erythritol in this recipe should be easier, though.
Karen B Serrano
Does this chocolate harden like tempered chocolate?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Karen, this chocolate breaks apart easily, but it’s a little bit softer and doesn’t “snap” like regular tempered chocolate.
Kim
Thanks for taking the time to do this! Question, why use coconut oil? Whats the purpose?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Kim, the coconut oil creates a creamier consistency.
Pam
Hey Maya, I loved that you’ve updated this recipe!
I’m curious: the heavy cream powder looks a little grainy after you stir it, do you think it will work to blend all together (after melting process) in a hand mixer or blender before pouring into the chocolate mold?
Wholesome Yum
That should work, Pam. Let me know if you try it!
Lea Lawn
Would powdered sunflower lecithin work ?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lea, I haven’t tried it. It might work. Let me know how it goes if you try it.
Sita
Hi! I was hoping you could tell me how long you specifically had to mix the cocoa butter, coconut oil, erythritol and lecithin mixture before the erythritol actually completely dissolved? Or are you left with a slightly gritty texture too? The pictures of your bars seem to show texture in the chocolate. In the video it seems as though you barely mixed both the sugar and milk powder. I made these tonight and although the flavor was lovely there was no way for me to get the sugar to completely dissolve. I used a double boiler and whisked it up for what seemed a very long time and it wasn’t budging. I would love to try to make this again with some success 🙂 Am I whisking for too long? Are you using a special tool to blend them all after melted? magic bullet?? I used now erythritol which i powdered very finely and the same liquid lecithin as you. I’d really appreciate hearing back from you or anyone else that has actually been successful in making smooth sugar free chocolate using erythritol.
Wholesome Yum
Hi Sita, I’m not sure what went wrong here. My powdered erythritol usually dissolves, but I imagine an immersion blender would help combine everything if you’re still getting a gritty consistency.
Leanne
I have found that not all powdered Erythritol is created equal. There seems to be an enormous difference in the quality of the powder especially if I make it myself from granular. My method to make it is to use my (not used for coffee…coffee grinder) and I make it in small batches and while most of the granular becomes powder there are still some resistant crystals that won’t turn to powder and it creates a slightly grainy texture when making anything that is super silky smooth. However when I purchase the powdered version of Erythritol the entire bag is powder soft and smooth and gives the perfect end result.
I know some are going to comment and say oh well you didn’t grind it long enough in the grinder, well if I kept it in any longer it would have turned into some sort of Erythritol paste or butter…and it goes from a powder to an almost flake type consistency and the powder becomes compressed. Anyway I’ve tried to get it a consistent powder by making smaller batches but I find if I don’t have enough then it becomes almost impossible to grind. Perhaps a high speed ninja blender with the multiple tornado style blade (closest I’ve found to a vita mix at only a third or less of the cost)would work better? I’ve not tried that if anyone has please let me know if it provides a more consistent powder throughout?
By the way THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS HOW TO TUTORIAL VIDEO AND THE RECIPE COMPLETE WITH EXACTLY WHAT YOU USED! I haven’t tried it yet I’m waiting for all the items to be shipped from Amazon.ca. I’m soooo happy I’ll be able to make keto macadamia nut cookies and blondies for my sweetie, he will be soooo thrilled. We are new to Keto and are desperately trying to reverse his type 2 diabetes but it’s so important that he doesn’t feel deprived or it could lead to not being able to stick with it. This will seal the deal for sure! God Bless and thank you so much!!!
Cindy Love
Would this recipe be good for using with chocolate molds? & would food coloring change anything? I like using chocolate decor on my cakes & cupcakes. Thanks for this!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cindy, Yes, it’s great for molds. I haven’t tried adding food coloring so am not sure about that one.
Katrina
Hi there! I really love your dark chocolate. I made it and came out so good. Thank you so much! I’m now ready to try white chocolate this time. I noticed that if I use items in liquid form the more the chocolate easily melts and doesn’t hold the shape, so for this recipe can I use the powdered form or the lecithin? And powdered form of vanilla? Also can you please share if you have a coffee or peanut butter chocolate recipe?
Wholesome Yum L
Hi Katrina, I haven’t tried making the recipe with the powdered ingredients so I’m not sure. You might like to try this recipe: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/low-carb-keto-chocolate-bar-recipe/.
Jahmila D
I made your white chocolate recipe and loved it. I used the powder version of the organic sunflower lecithin. I made a salted hazelnut version. Soo delicious
Sarah
Is there a reason why the recipe calls for heavy cream powder instead of regular heavy cream? I’ve tried a similar recipe to this (the one I used didn’t include sunflower lecithin or coconut oil) and the texture was too grainy for me. I was hoping for a creamy smooth texture but it turned out not so.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sarah, Yes, you need heavy cream powder. Regular heavy cream will just make a liquid instead of a solid chocolate bar.
Chris
So you’re saying that if I substitute heavy whipping cream powder for the liquid I can make a syrup/sauce? I recently switched over to a ketogenic lifestyle but I miss my white chocolate mochas from Starbucks! Lol. The world would love you (well at least I would!) if you could make whatever alterations required to make this a syrup/sauce that can be refrigerated and then used as a coffee sweetener or maybe even a desert drizzle or topping!! Pretty please, with white chocolate on top?!?! Lol
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Chris, I haven’t tried it, but yes, I think you’d end up with a white chocolate sauce if you use liquid heavy cream instead of the powder. That sounds delicious over coffee!
DuneUnit
Just a thought… Use Allulose as your natural, no/low-carb sweetener. It works remarkably well… I made caramel with it and still can’t believe how accurately it mimics the real thing.
Robin
Hello!
I made this recipe without the lecithin, and I also used coconut milk powder instead of heavy cream powder. (I found that easily in stores, Grace brand).
I microwaved my cocoa butter and coconut oil instead of stove top, 1 min, stir, then 30 seconds at a time, stir, until completely melted. I melted my coconut oil first actually, in order to measure better.
The end result separated slightly with the coconut oil on top and the cocoa butter on the bottom, but once it set it wasn’t very noticable at all.
Mine were very very sweet, but I believe now it’s because I used Swerve powdered, which is 100% as sweet as sugar vs powdered erythritol which is 70% as sweet. I do think that the other commenters saying something similar about sweetness made the same mistake. Perhaps you could make a note on the recipe?
Despite using coconut milk powder and coconut oil (the kind that actually tastes like coconut) I don’t find the results are too coconuty, although maybe a little. Not unpleasantly so.
They aren’t too hard to bite into either. Even when coming out of the fridge, they have a light consistency, like soft milk chocolate.
Overall I’m very pleased, next time I’ll cut on the Swerve though. If you used 1/4 cup of powdered erythritol for the original recipe, I would guess I should use about 3tbsp Swerve or 3/4 as much. (60ml at 70% sweetness would be 42ml at 100% sweetness).
Despite all those changes, I’ll give the recipe 5*, lol even though I hate it when people do that on other recipes.
Rita
These came out perfect. Followed your recipe exact until I poured it. I put it in little molds to make fat bombs. I added cacao nibs to some, macadamia nuts to others and left some plain. I am so excited they turned out so good. Thank you so much! Love that they have coconut oil. The flavor isn’t pronounced and it’s added benefits are wonderful.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Yum, that sounds delicious, Rita! Thanks for sharing!
Pat
I would like to up the flavor on this recipe but have no idea how. I do plan on reducing the sweetness a bit. However, the white chocolate taste just wasn’t as flavorful as I’d like. Please help!!! It’s definitely a very well thought out recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Pat, You could replace some of the coconut oil with more cocoa butter for a stronger flavor.
Diego
Hi there,
Many thanks for sharing this great recipe. However, I cannot yet put it into practice since I didn’t find heavy powder cream in France. And I don’t want to use milk powder since I’m really strict regarding carbs counting. Is this really necessary? Would coconut hardened butter or coconut cream make it instead?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Diego, Sorry, you need either heavy cream powder, milk powder, or coconut cream powder. I have a link to the one I use on the recipe card above, in case you might want to have it shipped. Whole milk powder would be some carbs but less than skim or 2%. Coconut cream would not set unfortunately. I haven’t tried with coconut butter, so you could try that but not sure if it would set and have the right flavor.
Liz
First I think this recipe is great, but I would up the sweetener…maybe a 3rd of a cup and a whole tsp of vanilla. I got the candy molds for it, and it spilled a little in the freezer. The little chunk I got seemed to not have much flavor at all. I might melt it down and add the extra to it. It’s rich and I like that, just needs more vanilla and a bit more sweetener
Thanks.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you for the feedback, Liz! Sweetness is definitely a bit subjective so feel free to add more if you like more. Sometimes the sweetener doesn’t dissolve enough and that can cause uneven sweetness also.
Liz
Made this last night with Xanthan gum in place of the lecithin (I’m on Plant Paradox so soy and sunflowers are both out) and it turned out fine. I made one batch with only that one substitution and the flavor was just okay but perfect for baking which is what I made it for. I made another batch and replaced the vanilla extract with peppermint extract to try for a more peppermint bark taste and WOW! So happy I found this recipe because I’ve been missing having peppermint bark this year and now I don’t have to miss it as much! Thank you!
Kristina
Hi, is it at all possible to use psyllium husk, xanthan gum, or some other thing for this recipe? Also do you have any other things I could use with the sunflower lecithin? because if I buy it then I’ll have a huge thing of it and obviously I can’t just make a ton of chocolate.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kristina, This recipe doesn’t call for those things, is there a specific reason you are looking to put them in? Sunflower lecithin is necessary to stabilize the chocolate, and fortunately it lasts a long time. 🙂
Kristina
Hi sorry for not getting back to you I for some reason didn’t get an email that you wrote back just when other people wrote comments but anyway yeah I was hoping to use 1 of those things INSTEAD of the sunflower lecithin since I’ve heard that they’re thickeners but since you said that it’s a stabilizer (not a thickener) I’m not sure if any of those would work but please let me know if you think they would.
Thanks in advance,
Kristina
P.S. sorry I should have been more descriptive in my first message
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Sorry, I don’t think they would work to stabilize instead of the lecithin. You could try without it but my trials have been hit or miss. At least half the time, omitting the lecithin results in the chocolate “splitting” or “breaking”. So, I recommend just getting the lecithin. 🙂
Cecilia
Hi there. I found this recipe while looking for sugar free white chocolate to use as a coating for low-carb pumpkin truffles. This looks promising. Do you think this chocolate will adhere to the truffles and harden? I’d keep the truffles in the fridge before serving, but am concerned that as chocolate coating reaches room temperature it may begin to soften and separate from the truffles. Do you have any experience using the white chocolate as a coating? Thanks so much. Looking forward to trying your recipe.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cecilia, I haven’t tried that, but think it would work. Please let me know how it goes if you try it!
Mary Manello
Thank you for your diligent work! I want to make a white chocolate ganache, to frost a cake. Will your white chocolate work the same? (Typically, I chop dark chocolate and add to boiling cream to make a ganache). I’d love your advice on this! Being a keto girl, I really miss white chocolate, too!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Mary, I haven’t tried that, but would think it should work. Let me know if it does!
Meg McWhirter
Can you use food coloring and pipe it into shapes. Would it stay together, like a pumpkin?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Meg, It’s too liquid to pipe into shapes, but you could do shapes if you have silicone molds.
Dawna Pryor
Did you use powder or liquid lecithin?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Dawna, I used this lecithin.
Amber
Hi! I have a dairy allergy so I’ve been looking at all your dairy free recipes & came across this one! I’ve never had white chocolate before, so I was excited to try this one. Unfortunately I got my hopes up. You have “heavy cream powder” in the ingredients & im not sure if you know or not, but that contains dairy. I just thought I’d let you know in case any other people with allergies came across this post & didn’t know thank you so much for creating this blog! I have so much food I can try now!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
So sorry about that, Amber! This one wasn’t tagged correctly (I know heavy cream powder is dairy) – I fixed it now. You might be able to try this with coconut cream powder instead, but haven’t tried to confirm it.
Rev. Linda F
I’ve been diabetic 45 years and have never had sugar free white chocolate. I’m not a big fan of much sugar free candy, but interested in trying a homemade white chocolate.
Not only for myself, but for my son, mom, and my fiance…all of whom are also diabetic. THANK YOU!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it, Linda! Thanks for stopping by!
Rev. Linda F
Too many people in my family complained about the coconut oil taste so I tried a batch without it. The white chocolate came out very creamy and no need for refrigeration. However, I used Splenda. Yes I know…shame on me. My family and I like Splenda.
Sue Ellen
I am looking forward to trying this recipe. I, too, love white chocolate. When I started this lifestyle, I found Ross Chocolates. Their chocolate, including white chocolate, tasted just a great as the full sugar chocolates you buy in the store. But, they seem to have discontinued the white chocolate. 🙁 Now it’s time to make my own.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I hope you like them, Sue! Thanks for stopping by!
Kristina
No they still sell them 🙂 but I hope you enjoyed these chocolate bars too. I’m going to try them out myself as soon as I can get the stuff from Amazon.
Crystal
I’m terrible at cooking stuff. You should sell them!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Ha! That’s a great idea, Crystal! 🙂
Rita
I’m dying to make this! Thank you so much for your recipe!!! One problem though. Here in South Africa, I can’t get double cream powder… would whey powder be the same?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Rita, Sorry to hear that! I haven’t tried it with whey protein powder so am not sure if it would work, but they are pretty different (one is mainly fat and the other is protein), so I have doubts that it would work out. If you can find whole milk powder, I’d probably go with that.
Ali
Hey, I just made this recipe with a few changes: I didn’t have lecithin, so I used peanut butter powder (the low sugar kind), MCT oil instead of coconut oil, 1tbsp of agave (I can’t have the typical artificial sweeteners), a little more heavy cream powder and a pat of butter. I tested it before I put it in my mini cupcakes pan, and it was pretty good! I’ll update later if it separates, but it’s looking good so far. The peanut butter looks like it’s doing its job!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thanks for sharing your substitutions, Ali! Thanks for stopping by!
jan Ellis
I cut the erythritol in half and for me it was still too sweet. I used butter instead of coconut oil and I think that next time I’ll use coconut oil as it will yield more snap (I keep them in the freezer). Liquid typically seizes regular chocolate but the vanilla extract mixed in fine. The flavor of these improved with time, perhaps because any erythritol crystals dissolved. This recipe is a keeper!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it, Jan! Thanks for stopping by!
Sarah
Maya! Mine came out so grainy! I’m sure it’s something I’m doing wrong. I ground my erythritol powder fine and did the same to my powdered milk. The mixture was creamy till I added the powdered milk. I need your expertise.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sarah, Sorry that happened! It was likely too hot, which can shock the mixture and cause it to split. Try with lower heat next time, preferably in a double boiler, and you can add a tiny bit more sunflower lecithin to be safe if you want to. This helps to stabilize it.
Leslie
So THIS is what real white chocolate should taste like!! I’ve honestly never had such “chocolately” white chocolate before and I feel like I’ve been cheated my entire pre-keto life. Yum! This is so delicious and a treat for the senses. Thank you for a fantastic, tasty and easy-to-follow recipe.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you enjoyed this, Leslie!
Alyssa
Can I make a ganache with this recipe?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Alyssa, I haven’t tried that yet! Let me know how it goes if you do.
Alicia
any updates with the ganache??
Cheryl
Would these bars work to make white chocolate coffee drinks? I’m trying to replicate Starbucks white chocolate mocha.
Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cheryl, I haven’t tried that yet! Such a great idea. I love white chocolate mochas. If you were to do this, it might work but I recommend blending it to avoid an “oily” drink. If you blend it, it should froth up similar to bulletproof coffee. Let me know how it goes!
Kristin Warner
Have you ever used Clarified Butter instead of Coconut Oil? I would assume it would be the same amount . . . or, 100% Butter Powder (dehydrated)? I’ve been trying to figure out the ratio for the different ingredient and EVERY recipe has different ratios and/or ingredients . . .
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kristin! You can use the same amount of clarified butter to substitute for coconut oil. I hope you like it!
Garrett
Would substituting the sunflower lecithin with xanthan gum work?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Garrett, I tried it a few times. Sometimes it works fine and sometimes the white chocolate still splits. Sunflower lecithin is best, but xanthan gum is better than nothing if you don’t have lecithin. The splitting was even more common when using neither. Hope you’ll try the chocolate and let me know what you think!
Laura
Do you taste the coconut oil in the chocolate? If so, could I replace it with butter? (I’d like to make a Jasmine-infused ganache with this chocolate)
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Laura, No, you can’t taste it at all. It’s just there for texture. Not sure if butter would work but let me know how it goes if you try.
Allison
My son (who is gluten, dairy and soy free) is desperate for white chocolate, so really looking forward to making this for him. Can you use sunflower lecithin powder or does it need to be a liquid?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Allison, I haven’t tried it with powder, but think it might work. Let me know how it goes if you try! I hope your son will love it.
Paula
Hi Maya,
Your recipe sounds wonderful! I was looking for a sugar free white chocolate to decorate sugar free dark chocolate (Lily’s) dipped strawberries and this looks like the solution to my problem.
I have one note on the recipe – the link to Amazon for the “Heavy Cream Powder” comes up as “Sour cream Powder” if you click on the link in the context where you talk about the recipe. If you click on the link in the recipe itself if comes up with the correct product used in the recipe. Also, I have a question regarding one of the ingredients in the Heavy Cream Powder – sodium caseinate an anti caking agent. I know the cheese industry uses an anti caking agent in pre-shredded cheeses which can cause problems for some people who are gluten free and I was wondering if the caking agent used in this product might cause a similar problem for those that are gluten free.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Paula, I love the idea of using this for chocolate covered strawberries! Also, thank you for pointing out the link error – I fixed it. I’m not aware of any gluten in the ingredients for the heavy cream powder, but while I am somewhat sensitive, I do not have celiac’s disease. If it’s a risk I’d recommend asking the manufacturer directly. I hope you can still make the white chocolate and please let me know how you like it!
Melissa
What about THM protein powder for the smooth milky taste?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Melissa, I haven’t tried that, but let us know how it goes if you do.
Antonio
Hi, where I live, I find it hard to find sunflower lecithin, is there a product that can replace it? Thanks in advance.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Antonio, The lecithin acts as a stabilizer. I’ve tried making this recipe without lecithin, and it’s hit or miss. Sometimes it works, and sometimes the mixture splits and doesn’t come out smooth. You can try it and see if it works for you. Otherwise, I can’t find it in stores here either but order it online here.
Colbe
Thanks for the shopping suggestions! The heavy cream link went to sour cream powder instead. Can you suggest an alternative? Would butter powder work? Could I omit the powder completely?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Colbe, Sorry about that – I fixed the link! Unfortunately the heavy cream powder is quite a bit but it’s A LOT so will last a long time. It’s shelf stable. I don’t think butter powder or omitting will work very well, since milk provides part of the flavor for white chocolate, or in the case of a low carb version, the heavy cream powder does. It’s just one of the main ingredients. Powdered milk will probably work but will have a higher carb count.
Jeffrey Hughes
Do you use powdered sunflower lecithin or liquid?
Do you recommend heating with double boiler to prevent overheating?
Thanks
Jeff
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jeff, I used liquid sunflower lecithin – the link is on the recipe card. Powdered might also work but I haven’t tried it to know for sure. I was able to make the chocolate without a double boiler, but it’s probably a good idea to use one. It would make it easier to avoid overheating.
Rhonda
Wow! Thank you for all your experimentation. I too was a big fan of white chocolate alas being keto killed that. I’m looking fwd to trying this especially with Easter coming up. Thought I may have to just watch others enjoying their chocolate treats but now I can join the party!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Rhonda! Let me know how you like it once you try!
Jillian
Can’t wait to make this! Unfortunately, the link I clicked on took me to sour cream powder on Amazon, not powdered heavy cream. Did you use a different kind?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jillian, Odd, I checked the link and it takes me to heavy cream powder on Amazon.com (US). Are you in a different country? For Amazon US, you could try this link also. Not sure if other countries carry it. Any kind of milk powder should also work, but milk powder is higher in carbs.
Kristin Warner
Hoosier Hills makes a Heavy Cream powder (just 2-3 ingredients) which I believe is actually dehydrated vs. freeze-dried w/ added chemicals….I might be wrong about the brand, but I’m pretty sure it was on Amazon too, otherwise, it’s definitely Google-able 🙂
Fiona Bullock
I’m in the UK, does anyone know what I can use in place of the heavy cream powder, or what it might be called please? I can’t seem to find it!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Fiona, I’m in the U.S. but we unfortunately don’t have heavy cream powder in stores either. I get it on Amazon. I searched Amazon U.K. but did not find it there, however I did find whole milk powder which will also work. You can get whole milk powder on Amazon U.K. here. Hope this helps!
Mandy
Hi Maya, I am fairly new to the ketogenic way of life and I’m no pro baker/chef. I was wondering if this recipe could be used as chips to make white chocolate macadamia nut cookies? Would it melt too much once mix into the cookie batter and baked or would it be fine? Wanted to get your input before trying so I might avoid wasting time and money if you know it wouldn’t work.
Thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Mandy, I still haven’t gotten around to trying this chocolate in baking, but I know that if you use it from room temperature or from the fridge, it will just melt into your cookie batter when heated. What I would recommend is freezing the pieces of chocolate, and use the frozen pieces in the cookie dough. That way it might stand a chance. 🙂 Let me know how it goes for you!
Nancy C.
Can you list the per serving by grams, please?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Nancy, sorry I don’t have that information available right now. If you make it, weigh the whole thing and divide that number by eight you’ll have the amount per serving in grams.
Emily
I am trying to add this recipe to my lose it app recipe box thing, but I wasn’t sure how many calories from cocoa butter I used. I weighed it to 4 oz. or whatever the amount was. The package on the butter is Tbsp but they come in chips. How do I know how many chips equals a tbsp?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Emily, That would depend on the size of the chips so the only way to know for sure is to place chips into a tablespoon measuring spoon and then count them. You could also go by weight if you have a kitchen scale, since nutrition labels also list weight in grams for a serving.
Natasha
I know this was awhile ago, but I weighed it using a kitchen scale. The whole bag was 8 oz and 4 oz in the recipe so I just calculated the nutrition for the whole bag using servings per container and divided it in half.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thanks Natasha!
Tiffany Hindman
I can’t find whole dry milk anywhere. I have checked every whole foods type market and regular supermarket around me and all they have is nonfat. Will that work? I need to make it tonight so I can’t ship from anywhere. Help!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Tiffany, It might work but I haven’t tried it. Sorry I missed your comment earlier, but I hope it worked out for you. I did just update the recipe so you might want to try it again the new way, too.
Emily
I found goat milk powder at Wegmans. If not, Amazon.
Caryn
Has anyone actually tried to make this? I just did and EPIC FAIL. The sweetener did not dissolve even when I put the mixture in a bullet to blend. Terribly grained and tasted like suntan lotion. I doubled the batch and wasted a ton of ingredients so very disappointed. How do you get get your sweetener not to crystalize and separate from the cocoa butter. I used pyure which is a stevia erythritol blend. I’m telling you it was horrible.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Caryn, I’m sorry this happened, it definitely shouldn’t be grainy or taste like suntan lotion. Did you use the granular or powdered Pyure sweetener?
Caryn
I used granulated but buzzed it in a nutribullet first. As soon as it hit the cocoa butter it totally crystallized. I so want white chocolate. Help.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Caryn, Sorry you had issues with it. I actually updated the recipe today to be more consistently reproducible. I hope you will give it a try – it will work much better than the old version.
Emily
I made this the other day. I used stevia the cocoa butter she linked and the lecithin she linked. I couldn’t find the milk powder but I did find goat milk powder and used that. It looked gross when I mixed and poured but after refrigerating it was delicious. I am going to make her white chocolate chip macadamia cookies using this.
Lisa
This looks so amazing but mine went caramel coloured and flavoured 🙁
I felt the mixture separated so I used the handheld blender in the pot to mix it. It got thick and toffee like. Any suggestions?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lisa, Sorry you had issues with it. If it turned to caramel and then separated, the heat was definitely too high. Both of these issues are caused by overheating.
Karla
How much Stevia did you use ?
And what brand ?
Thank you
Kelly
This sounds amazing! Do you know or has anyone tried with THM collagen instead of the milk powder?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Kelly! That’s a great idea. I haven’t tried it yet. I’m not sure if it would affect the flavor, since milk powder contributes to the taste of white chocolate. I love THM collagen though, so let me know how it goes if you try it!
Krysten
Thank you for this! Do you have to use the milk powder? I want to make it vegan.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Krysten, Yes, the milk powder is a main component in any white chocolate. You may be able to use powdered coconut cream powder instead, but haven’t tried that. Let me know how it goes if you do.
Sakura Sky
Mine came out with a really weird flavor and gritty texture, and I can’t figure out why. I used Swerve Confectioner’s, that would be the right sweetener, right?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sakura, I’ve never experienced that, but it’s hard to say what happened without being in the kitchen with you. Swerve Confectioner’s is the correct sweetener. It could be that the milk powder and sweetener didn’t dissolve well enough into the melted cocoa butter? You could try heating a little longer and/or using a blender to make sure everything mixes well.
Marijane
The whole milk powder is so much for just one recipe! Could regular lowfat powdered milk work? It’s much more accessible.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Marijane, I haven’t tried that since it’s higher in carbs, but in theory it should work. Let me know how it goes if you give it a try!
April
Would liquid heavy cream work? I don’t have powdered and really want to make this!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi April, Unfortunately, no. The chocolate wouldn’t set with liquid cream (it would be too liquid). Either whole milk powder or heavy cream powder would be needed. I suppose you could try a thickener, but haven’t tried that so couldn’t vouch for the results.
Ray Lester
Extremely sweet. Maybe add a little sweeter at a time.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you for the feedback, Ray! Everyone’s taste buds are different so you can definitely adjust the sweetness to taste.
lynnpricewrites
I just made these with heavy cream powder, and they came out great…along with drastically reducing the carb count. I got 2 large bars and 7 candy molds.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
That’s a great idea! I’ll try making them with heavy cream powder next time, too.
lynnpricewrites
Thank you so much for this info!!
Niki
Can you use goat whole milk powder?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I haven’t tried it but don’t see why not! Let me know how it goes if you try it.
Emily
I used goat powder and it worked
Karen
I was excited to see cacao powder at Walmart today, opened it, and it’s chocolate, not white chocolate. How would I know the difference? I know I can use this, but I already have unsweetened chocolate.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Karen, Cacao powder is always dark chocolate, not white chocolate. For this recipe you need cacao butter, not powder. Cacao butter is always white. I’ve never seen it at Walmart, but not sure if that varies around the country. I buy it online here.
Lisa Vaas
Avoid the milk powder carbs entirely. You can buy heavy cream in powdered form! I’ve found it on amazon in the past.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
That’s a great idea! Yes, this recipe should work the same way with heavy cream powder.
Donna
I found the HWC powder too!! Cannot wait to try this…c’mon Amazon
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Awesome! I’ve seen some people have issues with the recipe so am going to re-test in the next couple weeks and change the recipe to use the HWC powder. 🙂
Laurie T.
Could butterscotch flavoring be added to this? I’m looking for a way to make low-carb butterscotch chips.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Yes, you could do that! I haven’t tried it but don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. And it sounds delicious. 🙂
Sarah Young
I clicked on your link for the powdered milk. It took me to Amazon. The product there says for 2 tbsp there’s 12g carbs with no fiber. How did you figure out the carb count for your white chocolate bar?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
You’re right, Sarah! You and another person brought this up. I apologize for the mix-up. The nutrition info has been updated.
Laura Hickman
The whole powdered milk that is linked is 12 grams of carbs per 2 dry Tbl. There is a 1/4th cup in the recipe. This means there are 24 carbs from the milk in 8 servings which equals 3 carbs per 1/4th of a bar. Did you use a different brand of dry whole milk?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you for bringing this up, Laura! You are correct. It looks like the nutrition calculator had a hiccup with the dry milk powder. I updated it and it should be correct now. Thanks!
Jackie M
I vote for this too!! That sugar free/stevia sweetened chocolate is kind of a lot.
Roz
I just got some coconut milk powder. Do you think that would work instead of the milk powder? I like white chocolate and the only sugar free one I’ve seen had a lot of maltitol and carbs.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I haven’t tried it with coconut milk powder, but it sounds like a great idea and I do think it would work. Let me know what you think if you try it.
athleticavocado
I love white chocolate! It’s so nice to be assured that I can make my own sugar-free version! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Katrin
I love white chocolate and have no had it for ages. This recipe will have to be made 🙂
Kate
This is amazing! If you created a recipe for low carb milk chocolate bars I would be forever grateful!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Kate! I’ll add that to my list.
Kelly
If you’ve created a low carb milk chocolate bar…. please add the link !!! Thanks for the recipes, and all your hard work and creativity !!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Kelly! I haven’t done that yet but it’s on my list.
Georgina
I’m not really a fan of commercial white chocolate – even if it wasn’t carb-laden. But this recipe looks great!
Kim | Low Carb Maven
I keep meaning to use the large amount of cocoa butter in my cabinet. I haven’t used it in over a year. This looks like just the recipe. Thank you.
STACEY
I have never made white chocolate before, but is sounds pretty simple to make, and would be loved melted and drizzled on holiday goodies. 🙂
Pam
I can’t wait to try this! My “signature” Christmas candy has been homemade peanut clusters made with white chocolate/almond bark, semi-sweet chocolate chips and dry roasted nuts – but they are most definitely not low carb, but people love them. Making the white chocolate this way would take a bunch of the carbs out and I could even try Lilly’s low carb chocolate chips to reduce them even further.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
That sounds like a delicious way to use white chocolate! I love Lilly’s low carb chocolate chips, too.
Samantha
I live in Australia. Do you mean cacao butter?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Yes, cocoa butter and cacao butter are the same.
Gloria Lutzen
I am having a terrible time. I made the recipe exactly and it turned out like oatmeal. What did I do wrong? I made it over twice and both times it turned out the same. Thanks, Gloria.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Gloria, I’ve never experienced that, but it’s hard to say what happened without being in the kitchen with you. It could be that the milk powder and sweetener didn’t dissolve well enough into the melted cocoa butter? You could try heating a little longer and/or using a blender to make sure everything mixes well. Hope this helps!
Fabrizio
Hi, I’m thinking about trying this recipe this next week, but I haven’t been able to find heavy cream powder, do you think it would be posible to do it with “normal” heavy cream?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Fabrizio, I’m sorry this won’t work. By adding traditional heavy cream, you are adding liquid to the white chocolate bar, which will prevent it from setting correctly. Heavy cream powder can be found here
Taryn
Yum! I just bought cocoa butter to make white chocolate too 🙂
