Pour water in the pan, then put another dish with chopped white chocolate in it on top and heat at low temperature, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted. Make sure that the dish with chocolate inside doesn’t touch the water and the steam does not come in contact with white chocolate. Stay close to your stove all the time and stir from time to time!
