- 300ml (1 1/4 cups) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh berries or grated chocolate for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate:
- Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the vanilla extract. Gradually mix the melted white chocolate into the egg yolks until smooth.
- Beat the Egg Whites:
- In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while whisking, continuing until stiff peaks form.
- Whip the Cream:
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture, followed by the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula and fold gently to maintain the airy texture.
- Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Top with fresh berries, grated white or dark chocolate, or a drizzle of berry coulis before serving.
