A luscious and airy dessert combining melted white chocolate with fresh raspberry puree folded into whipped cream, perfect for any occasion and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170g) white chocolate chips or chopped bar
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the raspberry puree by pulsing 1 cup fresh raspberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and set aside.
  2. Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling 1 teaspoon gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes, then warm gently in a saucepan until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl using 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Whip the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. If using gelatin, stir the cooled dissolved gelatin into the raspberry puree until fully combined.
  6. Gently fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream, keeping as much air as possible.
  7. Slowly fold the melted white chocolate into the raspberry and cream mixture until fully combined.
  8. Spoon the mousse into serving cups or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to set.
  9. Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and a drizzle of melted white chocolate if desired.

Notes

Use coconut cream and dairy-free white chocolate for a dairy-free version. Agar-agar can substitute gelatin for a vegetarian option. Chill mousse for at least 2 hours for best texture. Strain raspberry puree to remove seeds for smooth mousse.
