Cuisine: French-Inspired

Ingredients 🛒

8 oz white chocolate, chopped (use high-quality for best flavor)
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, divided
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

Optional Toppings:

Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Whipped cream
Grated white chocolate or chocolate shavings
Crushed cookies or toasted nuts

How to Make White Chocolate Mousse 🍫

Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate with ½ cup of heavy cream. Use a double boiler (or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each). Once smooth, set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with vanilla extract (and powdered sugar, if using) until soft peaks form.

Step 3: Combine and Fold

Once the melted white chocolate has cooled slightly, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mousse!

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. Garnish with toppings of choice and enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect White Chocolate Mousse

Use good-quality white chocolate – Cheap chocolate can turn grainy when melted.
Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before adding it to the whipped cream to prevent it from seizing.
Fold gently! Overmixing will deflate the mousse and make it dense.
Chill for at least 2 hours – The longer it chills, the better the texture!

Substitutions and Variations

Add a splash of liqueur like Grand Marnier, Baileys, or Amaretto for an adult twist.
Mix in citrus zest (orange or lemon) for a fresh, bright flavor.
Fold in crushed Oreos or graham crackers for a cookies & cream vibe.
Make it dairy-free by using coconut cream and dairy-free white chocolate.

Make a Healthier Version

Want to lighten it up? Try these swaps:

Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a plant-based option.
Reduce the chocolate to 6 oz for a lighter mousse.
Skip the powdered sugar – White chocolate is naturally sweet enough!
