Ingredients
- 200 grams White chocolate
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream (for melting chocolate)
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream (for whipping)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heat-proof bowl.
Step 2
Heat 60 milliliters of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 4
In a separate large mixing bowl, whip 240 milliliters of cold heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 5
In another clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Once the white chocolate mixture is cool, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula until well combined.
Step 7
Next, fold the beaten egg whites into the white chocolate mixture in three additions. Be gentle to preserve the light and airy texture.
Step 8
Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 9
Optional: Garnish with shaved white chocolate, fresh berries, or a sprig of mint before serving.
