A rich and creamy White Chocolate Mousse made with whipped heavy cream and melted white chocolate, perfect for an elegant dessert that is easy to prepare and can be customized with decorative chocolate shards or curls.

Ingredients

Scale

White Chocolate Mousse

  • 2 cups (473ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips

Optional Topping

  • White chocolate shards or white chocolate curls/shavings (made from melting and cooling white chocolate or using a vegetable peeler on a white chocolate bar)

Instructions

  1. Chill Equipment: Place a metal or glass mixing bowl and beaters from an electric mixer in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure the cream whips up nicely.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup of heavy cream with the white chocolate chips. Microwave at 50% power for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding additional time if needed until the chocolate is fully melted. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  3. Whip Cream: Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Combine Mixture: Gently add the cooled melted white chocolate mixture to the whipped cream and beat until fully combined, creating a smooth mousse.
  5. Refrigerate: Divide the mousse into individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, though overnight refrigeration is recommended for the best texture. The mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
  6. Add Toppings (Optional): Before serving, top with white chocolate shards or curls. To create shards, melt white chocolate, spread it on a silicone mat, cool completely, then break into pieces. For curls, use a vegetable peeler on a white chocolate bar.

Notes

  • Ensure the mixing bowl and beaters are well chilled for optimal whipping results.
  • Use good quality white chocolate chips or bars for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the melted chocolate to cool completely before mixing with whipped cream to prevent deflating the mousse.
  • The mousse can be made a day ahead and refrigerated to enhance the flavor and texture.
  • Optional toppings add a decorative touch and additional texture to the dessert.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
