A quick and easy homemade dessert featuring a silky white chocolate mousse blended with fresh raspberry puree, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 cup (125 g) fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries, drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tbsp (15 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (3 g) gelatin powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the raspberry puree by pulsing raspberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and set aside about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of smooth puree.
  2. Melt the white chocolate gently over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly without hardening.
  3. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Stir lemon juice into the raspberry puree to brighten the flavor.
  5. Gently fold the raspberry puree into the melted white chocolate until smooth and slightly thick.
  6. Carefully fold one-third of the whipped cream into the white chocolate-raspberry mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream gently to preserve airiness.
  7. If using gelatin, sprinkle it over 2 tbsp cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes. Warm gently until dissolved (do not boil), then fold into the mousse mixture before folding in the whipped cream.
  8. Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving cups or ramekins and smooth the tops.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set; overnight chilling yields firmer mousse and better flavor melding.
  10. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or a mint leaf.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid deflating the mousse. Melt white chocolate slowly over a double boiler to prevent seizing. Use fresh raspberries for best flavor; if using frozen, thaw and drain well. Gelatin is optional for firmer mousse. Refrigerate overnight for best texture and flavor melding.
