Diet-Friendly Options: Gluten-free and can be adapted with dairy-free alternatives.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1/4 cup (60 ml) whipping cream or heavy cream: This creates that luscious, airy texture. Heavy cream works best for stability.
4 ounces (112 grams) full-fat cream cheese: Provides a rich base for the mousse. Make sure it’s softened for easy blending.
1/3 cup (56 grams) white chocolate, chopped and melted: Sweet and creamy, this is the star ingredient that sets the tone of your mousse.
1/2 cup (120 grams) plain Greek yogurt: Adds a tangy flavor and contributes to the creaminess; opt for full-fat for the best results.
1/2 cup (60 grams) fresh or frozen raspberries, mashed with a fork: They add a burst of fruitiness. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid first.
Fresh raspberries for garnish, optional: They enhance presentation and add a pop of freshness.

How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse

Beat the Cream: In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 1/4 cup of whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Be attentive here; if you overmix, you’ll end up with butter instead of a fluffy whip!

Mix Cream Cheese and Chocolate: In a separate medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of soft cream cheese with 1/3 cup of melted white chocolate. Beat with the same mixers until smooth and creamy. This step is crucial for the balance of flavors.

Incorporate Yogurt and Raspberries: Next, add 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt to the mixture and blend until well combined. Then, gently fold in 1/2 cup of mashed raspberries until evenly distributed. This gives the mousse its fruity essence.

Fold in Cream: Carefully fold in all but a tablespoon of the whipped cream you prepared earlier. Keep it light; you want to maintain that airy texture. The remaining cream will be used for a luscious topping.

Spoon Into Glasses: Divide the mousse mixture into two serving glasses. You can serve them immediately, but I recommend chilling them in the fridge for a while, which softens the mousse and enhances the flavor profile. This dessert wonderfully transforms over time!

Garnish and Serve: When ready to serve, top the mousse with the reserved whipped cream and garnish with fresh raspberries if desired. They add that final touch of elegance!

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover mousse in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, it can be frozen for up to three months—be sure to use freezer-safe containers. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge. The mousse might change slightly in texture as it softens, but that’s part of its charm!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overbeating the cream to prevent it from turning into butter.
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
For an extra touch, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture for enhanced flavor.
If the mousse appears too thick after chilling, a gentle fold of additional whipped cream can bring back its fluffy texture.
This mousse can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.

White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse is not just a dessert; it’s a special treat that will have everyone anticipating dessert time. The balance of creamy and tangy flavors is an experience in itself. Don’t hesitate to experiment a little—add a hint of lime zest for some zing or even swap out the raspberries for another berry of your choice. Enjoy the process of creating this luxurious dish and share it with those you love; it’s a sweet memory in every spoonful.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use other types of chocolate?

Absolutely! While white chocolate brings a creamy sweetness to the mousse, feel free to experiment with milk or dark chocolate. Just keep in mind that darker chocolates will create a different flavor profile, which might balance the sweetness.

Is it possible to make this mousse dairy-free?

Yes! You can substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free cream cheese. Additionally, opt for dairy-free white chocolate to keep this dessert completely dairy-free while maintaining its creaminess.

How can I increase the serving size?

This recipe is straightforward to double or even triple. Just scale your ingredients accordingly, and ensure you have larger bowls for mixing. Keep in mind that the chilling time may vary slightly with larger amounts.

What’s the best way to serve this mousse?

Presenting the mousse in individual glasses or jars not only looks appealing but also makes it easier for guests to serve themselves. You can also layer the mousse with additional berries or cookie crumbles for a delightful texture contrast.

Instructions

In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over mix.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the cream cheese and melted white chocolate together with the same beaters. Add the Greek yogurt and combine well, then incorporate the mashed raspberries.
