This Easy White Chocolate Dipping Sauce is a luscious and smooth treat perfect for dipping fruits, cookies, or drizzling over desserts. Made with high-quality white chocolate, heavy cream, and enhanced with vanilla and a touch of butter for a glossy finish, this sauce balances sweetness with a pinch of sea salt for a delightful flavor experience.

Ingredients

White Chocolate Dipping Sauce

  • 8 ounces high-quality White Chocolate (Wafers or Finely Chopped Bar)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (35% Fat)
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (Optional, highly recommended for gloss)
  • 1 pinch Fine Sea Salt (Crucial for balancing sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate: If using a white chocolate bar, finely chop it into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
  2. Heat Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl and heat over low-medium heat just until it starts steaming around the edges. Be careful not to let it boil. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream: Place the chopped white chocolate into the hot cream. Let it sit undisturbed for exactly 60 seconds to allow the chocolate to start melting.
  4. Mix Until Smooth: Using a rubber spatula or whisk, gently stir starting from the center, gradually working outwards until the mixture is smooth, glossy, homogenous, and free of lumps, typically under three minutes.
  5. Add Flavor Enhancements: Stir in the pure vanilla extract, the optional tablespoon of unsalted butter, and a pinch of fine sea salt.
  6. Whisk to Finish: Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until the butter melts completely and the sauce achieves a shiny, mirror-like finish with perfect dipping consistency.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using high-quality white chocolate will significantly improve the flavor and texture of the sauce.
  • The butter is optional but highly recommended—it adds gloss and richness to the sauce.
  • Do not allow the cream to boil; overheating can cause the chocolate to seize or separate.
  • The pinch of sea salt is key to balancing the sweetness and enhancing the overall flavor.
  • This sauce is best served warm but can be gently reheated before serving if it thickens.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat.
