Ingredients

• 200 grams white chocolate
• 300 ml heavy cream
• 2 large egg whites
• 30 grams granulated sugar
• 200 grams fresh raspberries
• 30 grams powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 100 ml of the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to steam and small bubbles form along the edges.

Step 3

Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a clean mixing bowl, whip the remaining 200 ml of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.

Step 5

In another bowl, beat the egg whites using a hand or stand mixer until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture in three additions until fully combined.

Step 7

Next, fold in the beaten egg whites into the white chocolate mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mousse. The texture should be light and airy.

Step 8

Divide the mousse evenly among 4 serving glasses or bowls. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 9

To make the raspberry compote, combine fresh raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the raspberries break down and the mixture slightly thickens.

Step 10

Remove the compote from heat and let it cool to room temperature before drizzling over the chilled mousse.

Step 11

Garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
