Milk chocolate is chocolate mixed with milk powder, liquid, or condensed milk. This process of solidifying milk chocolate was invented by Swiss confectioner Daniel Peter. Milk chocolate has less than or equal to 10% chocolate liquor in it and the percent of milk solids is less than or equal to 12%. We will now see how to make frosting using milk chocolate.
