White chocolate\u2019s higher fat content makes it ideal for slow cooking.<br>Q: Fudge is grainy! Why?<br>A: Likely culprits: (1) Over-stirring melted mixture, (2) Low-quality chocolate chips. Next time: fold gently; use premium chips.<br>Q: Eggs all melted into blobs!<br>A: Heat was too high. Always use LOW setting. If your slow cooker runs hot, cook 50 mins max.<br>Q: Dairy-free option?<br>A: Use vegan white chocolate chips + coconut condensed milk. Texture will be softer; chill 3+ hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is quiet magic in recipes that honor slowness.
