Ingredients
White Chocolate Mixture
- 11 ounces white chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Optional: sugar and vanilla extract to taste
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
- Combine with warm cream: Warm 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream in a small pot over the stove until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat and pour it over the melted white chocolate. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy, even if the cream initially floats on top.
- Chill the mixture: Transfer the white chocolate mixture to the refrigerator and let it cool for about 20 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Whip the remaining cream: In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. You may add sugar and vanilla extract to your preference during whipping, but this is optional.
- Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture until fully combined, maintaining the mousse’s airy texture.
- Final chilling: Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally longer, to allow it to set firmly enough to hold shape when served or piped.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the mousse chilled as a delightful and creamy dessert.
Notes
- Make sure the white chocolate is fully melted to avoid lumps in the mousse.
- Whipping the cream to stiff peaks is essential for the mousse’s light texture.
- You can add sugar and vanilla to the whipped cream for extra sweetness and flavor if desired.
- The mousse needs to chill for at least an hour to firm up; longer chilling improves texture.
- This mousse is best served cold and can be piped into serving dishes for an elegant presentation.
