Ingredients:

• 200g white chocolate, chopped into small pieces

• 250g heavy cream (whipping cream)

• 50g milk (whole milk works best)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• Pinch of sea salt (optional, for balancing sweetness)

Equipment:

• Thermomix

• Spatula

• Serving dish (optional)

Method:

Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate

1. Chop and Melt White Chocolate
   Place the white chocolate into the Thermomix bowl. Set the Thermomix to 50°C and use speed 2 to melt the chocolate for 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on the chocolate to ensure it doesn’t burn. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure all the chocolate melts evenly.

Step 2: Add Cream and Milk

2. Add Cream and Milk
   Once the white chocolate is fully melted, add the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) to the Thermomix bowl. Set the Thermomix to speed 3, and heat the mixture at 80°C for 5 minutes. You want the mixture to become thick and creamy, so make sure to check it frequently. If you like a thinner consistency, you can add a little more milk.

Step 3: Blend and Smooth

3. Blend to Smooth Consistency
   After the cream and chocolate are fully combined and heated, blend for 20 seconds on speed 5. This will ensure everything is completely smooth and free of lumps. If you’d like the cream even smoother, you can blend for an additional 10-20 seconds.

4. Add Optional Salt
   For a more balanced flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to the cream and blend for another 5 seconds. This will help cut the sweetness and give the cream a richer flavor.

Step 4: Cooling and Serving

5. Cool and Serve
   Pour the white chocolate cream into a bowl or serving dish and allow it to cool to room temperature. If you’re planning to use it as a topping for a dessert, you can refrigerate it for 30-60 minutes to help it thicken further.

   If you prefer the cream to be a bit more set, you can refrigerate it for a few hours, and it will become a rich, ganache-like consistency. The cream can also be served warm for a more liquid, sauce-like texture.

Tips for Perfect White Chocolate Cream:

• White Chocolate Quality: The quality of your white chocolate will greatly affect the flavor and texture of the cream. Choose a high-quality white chocolate for the best results, especially if you’re using it as a topping for a sophisticated dessert.

• Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker white chocolate cream, let it cool and set longer in the fridge. For a thinner consistency, simply reduce the amount of milk or use the cream while it’s still warm.

• Flavor Variations: You can experiment with adding a touch of orange zest, a hint of cinnamon, or even a splash of liqueur like Grand Marnier to create unique flavor variations.

• Storage: Store any leftover white chocolate cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving if needed.

Uses for White Chocolate Cream:

• Dessert Topping: This white chocolate cream makes an excellent topping for cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, tarts, or brownies.

• Dip: Serve it as a dip for fruits like strawberries, apple slices, or banana chunks.

• Filling: Use it as a filling for pastries or macarons.

• Ice Cream: Swirl it into homemade or store-bought vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
