🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

  • 8 oz (225g) white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups cold heavy whipping cream (divided)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional toppings:

  • Fresh berries
  • White chocolate shavings
  • Whipped cream

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Melt the White Chocolate

  • Place white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  • Heat ½ cup of the heavy cream until steaming (not boiling).
  • Pour over chocolate and let sit 1–2 minutes.
  • Stir until completely smooth.
  • Cool to room temperature (important so it doesn’t deflate the mousse).

2️⃣ Whip the Cream

  • Beat remaining 1 cup heavy cream with powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until soft peaks form.

3️⃣ Fold

  • Gently fold whipped cream into cooled white chocolate mixture in 2–3 additions.
  • Fold slowly to keep it airy.

4️⃣ Chill

  • Spoon into serving glasses.
  • Refrigerate at least 2 hours until set.

✨ Tips for Perfect Mousse

  • Don’t overheat white chocolate — it scorches easily.
  • Make sure the chocolate mixture is cool but still fluid before folding.
  • For extra stability (great for piping), fold in 2 oz softened cream cheese.
