Vegan White Chocolate Drip Recipe
Ingredients
- 190g vegan white chocolate
- 80ml coconut milk (from a tin)
- White gel food colouring (optional)
- Gel food colouring of your choice
How to Make Vegan White Chocolate Drip
- Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan until it just begins to boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the vegan white chocolate.
- Stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add a small amount of white gel food colouring if using. This helps neutralise the natural yellow tint of white chocolate and creates a brighter base colour.
- Add your chosen gel food colouring a little at a time until you reach your desired shade.
- Leave the drip to cool slightly before using.
- Test the consistency by spooning a small amount over the edge at the back of your chilled cake. If it runs too far, leave the drip to cool for a few more minutes before testing again.
- Once the consistency is right, spoon or pipe the drip around the edge of the cake before filling in the centre.
Top Tips
- Always use gel food colouring rather than liquid colouring.
- Chill your cake before adding the drip for better control.
- Test the drip on the back of the cake first.
- If the drip becomes too thick, gently warm it for a few seconds.
- Stir gently to avoid creating air bubbles.
Variations
- Leave it uncoloured for a classic ivory white drip.
- Create pastel shades for baby showers and spring cakes.
- Make bright colours for birthday cakes.
- Add a tiny amount of edible glitter for a subtle shimmer.
- Use different colours for seasonal celebrations like Halloween or Christmas.
