Frequently Asked Questions
How can I keep the white chocolate from seizing up?
White chocolate can be finicky. Either too much or too little time in the microwave can cause it to seize. Start with 30 seconds; add more time as needed, just until the chocolate can be stirred smooth. Don’t wait for the chips to look completely melted… stir them until they melt as much as possible. If they still aren’t completely smooth, microwave another 15 seconds and try again.
Can I cool white chocolate macaroons on the cookie sheet?
The results of our testing found that they need 1 minute on the cookie sheet to become easy enough to move, but any more time than that, and they don’t release well from the cookie sheet.
