• You can freeze white candy coating for long-term storage. Wrap it tightly in plastic or put it in a freezer-friendly container before placing it in the freezer. Allow it to slowly thaw in the refrigerator before using it.

Question 14

Analysis of white candy coating

Accepted Answer

When it comes to using white candy coating in the kitchen, many may find the process of melting or tempering it confusing. This ingredient tends to be sensitive to heat, and if not done correctly, can result in a burnt or clumpy mess. One key is to melt the coating slowly, ideally using a double boiler and stirring constantly to ensure even heating. Too high a heat can scorch the coating and ruin its smooth texture. For those looking to color or flavor their candy coating, it's important to use oil-based or powder food coloring and extracts, since water-based versions can cause the coating to seize or harden immediately. 
 
In addition, white candy coating can be a bit plain tasting. Pairing with other flavors such as citrus zest, edible flower petals or crushed nuts can enhance it’s overall taste. Never refrigerate to speed up the hardening process of the white candy coating as it can make it chalky and thick. Instead let it harden at room temperature for the best results.
