A quick and easy dessert featuring a light, airy white chocolate mousse layered with fresh raspberries, perfect for special occasions or a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) white chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp gelatin powder or agar-agar (vegetarian option)
  • 2 tbsp cold water

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let sit for about 5 minutes until spongy.
  2. Melt the white chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) and stir gently until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Mix gelatin into chocolate: Warm the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10 seconds or over low heat until liquefied. Stir into the melted white chocolate thoroughly.
  4. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, beat 1 ½ cups heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  5. Combine and fold: Slowly fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture in batches, keeping the mousse airy and light. Spoon half the mousse into serving cups.
  6. Prepare raspberry layer: Mash raspberries with 1 teaspoon lemon juice, leaving some berries whole for texture. Spoon evenly over mousse layer.
  7. Top with remaining mousse: Spoon the rest of the white chocolate mousse over the raspberry layer to create a smooth cap.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate mousse cups for at least 3 hours or until set.
  9. Garnish and serve: Add fresh raspberries or a mint leaf on top before serving.

Notes

Chill the bowl and whisk before whipping cream for better results. Use a double boiler to melt white chocolate gently to avoid burning. Fold whipped cream gently to keep mousse airy. Gelatin or agar-agar is necessary to set the mousse properly. Refrigerate at least 3 hours for best texture. Variations include swapping berries, adding ganache, or making vegan with coconut cream and agar-agar.
