Ingredients

• 200 grams white chocolate
• 480 milliliters heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 drops optional green food coloring
• 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 30 grams white chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat 120 milliliters of heavy whipping cream until it begins to steam but does not boil.

Step 3

Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Gently stir until the chocolate fully melts and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 5

Warm the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or until it melts. Stir it into the cooled white chocolate mixture.

Step 6

Add the peppermint extract and food coloring (if using) to the white chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 360 milliliters of heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Gradually fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture in three additions. Be gentle to maintain the mousse's lightness.

Step 9

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 10

Garnish each serving with white chocolate shavings and a sprig of fresh mint before serving.
