Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Creamy White Chocolate Mousse:
Ingredients:
- 200g (7 oz) white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (whipping cream), cold
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Fresh berries or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Melt the White Chocolate:
- Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until warm (do not boil).
- Pour the warm milk over the white chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir gently until the white chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth. If needed, you can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Let the melted white chocolate mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 20 minutes until it is cool but not set.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream (and optional powdered sugar, if desired) using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Combine the Mixtures:
- Once the white chocolate mixture has cooled, fold it gently into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; fold it in gently until just combined.
- Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it has set and become firm.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Before serving, top with fresh berries or mint leaves for added color and flavor.
Enjoy your creamy, decadent white chocolate mousse!
