The Ingredients

This simple white chocolate drip uses just three ingredients: heavy cream, white chocolate chips, and bright white candy melts. The white chocolate chips provide flavor, while the bright white candy melts give the drizzle a true white color that pops on cakes and cupcakes. If you prefer, you can substitute only white chocolate chips for the candy melts; the color will be ivory rather than bright white.

If you want tips for creating a clean drip effect, see my Make Perfect Drip Cakes post for a step-by-step guide and tutorial video. Drip designs are one of my favorite finishing touches for special occasions and everyday treats.

I hope you enjoy this quick, versatile drizzle!

Thanks for reading. ❤️

Ingredients

White Ganache Drizzle

  • 42 grams (¼ cup) White Chocolate Chips
  • 42 grams (¼ cup) “Bright White” or “Super White” Candy Melts (or substitute more white chocolate chips; the color will be ivory)
  • 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream

Instructions

  • Combine the white chocolate chips, candy melts, and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Heat in the microwave at 50% power in 20–30 second increments, whisking for 30 seconds to one minute between each heat. It usually takes two to three cycles. Frequent whisking helps the chocolate melt smoothly and prevents overheating.
  • Use a spoon or a squeeze bottle to drizzle the warm ganache down the sides of your cake or on cupcakes. Store any leftover ganache in the refrigerator for up to two weeks; reheat at 50% power in the microwave before using as a drizzle again.
