Why does white chocolate thicken

White chocolate is more sensitive than dark or milk chocolate because it contains cocoa butter, milk solids, and sugar, but no cocoa mass. That means:

It cools and hardens quickly
A tiny bit of moisture can make it seize
Overheating or under‑heating changes its texture
It needs fat (like coconut oil) to stay fluid and glossy

Warm it again using the double‑boiler method

Place the bowl back over hot (not boiling) water and stir gently. This melts any partially solidified cocoa butter and brings the chocolate back to a smooth, pourable consistency.

Keep the flame low
Make sure steam doesn’t enter the bowl
Stir continuously

Best practice while dipping

To avoid thickening in the first place:

Work in small batches
Keep jamuns frozen until dipping
Keep the chocolate bowl warm (but not hot)
Stir frequently
Add a few chocolate chips if it starts to cool
Add a tiny bit of coconut oil if it starts to thicken

Ingredients

10 gulab jamun
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Dried rose petals
