White Chocolate Mousse
White chocolate mousse sounds kind of intimidating to make, but it's so easy, and is crazy delicious. Top it with some raspberry whipped cream, raspberries and a puff pastry heart for a super special dessert!
Ingredients
- 4 ounces white chocolate chopped
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream divided
- 4 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste {or pure vanilla extract}
- Raspberry whipped cream {optional}
Instructions
- 1. Place white chocolate and 1/4 cup of the heavy cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate is completely melted, about 2-3 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- 2. With an electric mixer, beat the remaining 1-3/4 cups heavy cream in a large bowl until the cream starts to foam. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until the mixture forms soft peaks, or about 3 more minutes.
- 3. Whisk a small amount of the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Gently fold in half of the remaining whipped cream. Once combined, gently fold in remaining whipped cream until just combined. Divide into 4 bowls or dessert glasses and chill for one hour.
