Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams White chocolate
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream (for melting chocolate)
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream (for whipping)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
Instructions
Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heat-proof bowl.
Heat 60 milliliters of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whip 240 milliliters of cold heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
In another clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Once the white chocolate mixture is cool, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula until well combined.
Next, fold the beaten egg whites into the white chocolate mixture in three additions. Be gentle to preserve the light and airy texture.
Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Optional: Garnish with shaved white chocolate, fresh berries, or a sprig of mint before serving.
