A quick and easy dessert featuring a light, airy mousse combining tart raspberries and sweet white chocolate, perfect for entertaining or a casual treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces (170 grams) white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 cup (125 grams) fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Rinse 1 cup fresh raspberries and place them in a blender or food processor. Add 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a silky texture. Set aside.
  2. Bloom the Gelatin (Optional): Sprinkle 1 teaspoon gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it swells. Warm gently in a small saucepan until dissolved completely. Let cool slightly.
  3. Melt the White Chocolate: Place chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir gently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly but not harden.
  4. Whip the Cream: Using a hand or stand mixer, whip 1 ½ cups chilled heavy cream with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  5. Combine and Fold: Stir the raspberry puree into the melted white chocolate until combined. If using gelatin, mix it in now. Gently fold the white chocolate mixture into the whipped cream in three parts using a spatula. Spoon into serving cups and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Melt white chocolate gently over simmering water or in short microwave bursts to avoid scorching. Fold ingredients gently to keep mousse airy. Chilling for at least 2 hours is essential for setting. Gelatin is optional but helps mousse hold shape longer.
