Why White Chocolate Mousse?
White chocolate mousse is a dessert that balances richness with airiness. The creamy consistency comes from a blend of white chocolate, heavy cream, and a little bit of sugar, giving it the perfect amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. The mousse is fluffy yet indulgent, and its neutral flavor makes it versatile enough to pair with a variety of toppings—fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of fruit compote, for example.
Its light texture, combined with the smooth, creamy taste of white chocolate, makes it the ideal dessert for a special dinner or a casual gathering.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 8 oz (about 225g) high-quality white chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, divided
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For Optional Toppings:
- Fresh berries (like raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries)
- Grated white or dark chocolate
- A drizzle of raspberry coulis or fruit compote
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Melt the White Chocolate:
Start by melting the white chocolate. This can be done using either a double boiler or microwave.
- Double Boiler Method: Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Microwave Method: Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
2. Whip the Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This can be done using an electric mixer or a stand mixer. Start at a low speed and gradually increase to medium-high. Add the powdered sugar (if using) and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. The cream should be thick and hold its shape when lifted with a whisk.
Tip: Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it can turn into butter. Keep an eye on it as it reaches stiff peaks.
3. Combine the White Chocolate and Whipped Cream:
Once the melted white chocolate has cooled to room temperature (but is still pourable), gently fold it into the whipped cream. Use a rubber spatula to fold the mixture together, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. The goal is to keep the mousse light and airy while ensuring the white chocolate is evenly incorporated.
