Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup of heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Avoid overheating to prevent graininess.
  2. Cool the Chocolate: Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly at room temperature until warm but not hot.
  3. Chill Your Equipment: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes for optimal whipping results.
  4. Whip the Cream: Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). Aim for fluffy cream without over-whipping.
  5. Check the Consistency: Soft peaks should gently fold over when the beaters are lifted. If they stand straight up, you’ve over-whipped.
  6. Fold the Chocolate into the Cream: Add a small amount of whipped cream to the melted chocolate to lighten it.
  7. Gently Fold: Incorporate about a third of the whipped cream into the chocolate using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  8. Add the Remaining Cream: Fold in the remaining whipped cream in two additions, ensuring the mixture is light and fluffy with no visible streaks.
  9. Transfer to Serving Dishes: Spoon the mousse into individual cups or a large serving dish. Smooth the tops for a nice presentation.
  10. Chill in the Refrigerator: Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for enhanced flavor and texture.
  11. Prepare Toppings (Optional): While chilling, prepare toppings like fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or caramel sauce.
  12. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove from the refrigerator, add toppings, and enjoy the light, airy mousse that melts in your mouth.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Consider adding vanilla extract, almond extract, or a splash of liqueur for a unique twist.
