About White chocolate drizzle

White chocolate drizzle is a sweet topping made primarily from cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids, and emulsifiers, giving it a creamy texture and rich flavor. Unlike traditional chocolate, white chocolate lacks cocoa solids, resulting in its pale coloration and distinct flavor profile. Originating from Europe in the 1930s, it is often featured in desserts across various cuisines, such as French pastries and American baked goods. Nutritionally, white chocolate is high in fat due to cocoa butter and contains minimal amounts of calcium and magnesium from its milk solids, though it is also high in sugar, contributing primarily to calorie intake and not offering significant protein or fiber.
