Ingredients
- 8 oz white chocolate
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and melt it with the unsalted butter in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until pale and creamy. Gradually add the melted white chocolate mixture to the yolks and whisk to combine. Ensure the chocolate is not hot to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Step 3
Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions to keep the mousse light and airy.
Step 4
In another clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt to stiff peaks, being careful not to overbeat. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the mousse mixture in three additions, ensuring everything is well incorporated but avoiding overmixing.
Step 5
Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins, smoothing the tops if needed. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Step 6
Garnish with whipped cream, white chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving for an elegant touch.
