Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams white chocolate
- 500 ml heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 pieces ladyfinger biscuits
- 100 ml milk
- 50 grams white chocolate shards or curls (for garnish)
- 100 grams fresh raspberries or strawberries (optional garnish)
Instructions
Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt it gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring each time until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat 100 ml of heavy cream over medium heat until warm (do not bring it to a boil). Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Let this mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 400 ml of heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Once the gelatin mixture and melted white chocolate are cool but still fluid, gently fold both into the whipped cream in batches until fully incorporated and smooth. This is your white chocolate mousse.
Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (or individual dessert cups) with ladyfinger biscuits. Dip each biscuit lightly into the milk beforehand to soften them slightly.
Spread half of the white chocolate mousse evenly over the layer of biscuits. Add another layer of softened biscuits on top, followed by the remaining mousse, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until the mousse is set.
Before serving, garnish the top with white chocolate shards or curls, and optionally add fresh raspberries or strawberries for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve chilled and enjoy your White Chocolate Heaven!
