Add the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk to the top of a double boiler, or sit a large metal bowl over a stock pot of simmering water to create a bain-marie.

Notes

*While I provide volume measurements for most of my recipes, for this one you absolutely need to use a kitchen scale to weigh the melted chocolate; without a scale, there is no way to create perfectly even layers.

**For a more detailed explanation of the layering process, see my notes in the post above.

***Run knife under hot water to warm.
