Microwaving makes things much easier when melting chocolate.

Tempering White Chocolate

oz (226 grams) white chocolate

In a microwave safe bowl, heat 3/4 of chocolate for 20 seconds and stir.

Repeat this step until most of the chocolate is melted. Check the temperature. If you are close to 104F (40C) start heating in 5 second intervals, stirring between each cycle and rechecking temperature as it can heat quickly in the end stages and burn.

Add in the remain chocolate. Continue to stir until the temperature drops to 86F (30C.)  Your chocolate is now in temper and ready to use.

Thanks so much! I make chocolate truffles every Christmas, and this was the easiest experience I've ever had getting white chocolate into temper. It will definitely be my go-to method from now on!

Thank you so much for this post! I tried 5 times yesterday to temper homemade white chocolate using everyone else's method where you raise the temperature, bring it down,  and then raise it again and called every single time. After all of that, last night I found your post and this morning was able to do it on the first attempt. It's counter to what we're taught- that it has to be cooked off and warmed back up,  but it works wonderfully! Thank you!!
