Cool dry place, tightly wrapped. 1 year. More prone to fat bloom than dark chocolate.
Scorches more easily than dark chocolate because the milk proteins burn. Melt slowly at low heat or over a double boiler. Does not set as firmly without tempering.
For chemical leavening: small weight changes alter rise and browning.
For quick breads: over-leavening can cause collapse after oven spring.
For cookies: balance leavening with acid source for predictable spread.
Baseline reference: 1 cup white chocolate (chopped) = 168g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 158g-178g per cup (6% band).
Why this happens: fine powders and leaveners settle during storage, changing cup density.
Figures use the US cup (236.6 ml).1 cup of white chocolate (chopped) weighs 168 grams.
