A creamy, airy mousse balancing the sweetness of white chocolate with the tartness of fresh raspberries. Perfect for summer parties, this easy homemade dessert is light, refreshing, and indulgent.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prep the gelatin (if using): Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes until spongy.
  2. Melt the white chocolate: Break into small pieces and melt gently over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Puree the raspberries: Pulse 1 cup raspberries with lemon juice and sugar until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.
  4. Heat the gelatin: Warm the bloomed gelatin gently until melted but not boiling. Stir a tablespoon of raspberry puree into the gelatin to temper it, then mix back into the rest of the puree.
  5. Whip the cream: Beat heavy cream and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
  6. Combine chocolate and puree: Stir the cooled melted white chocolate into the raspberry puree until combined.
  7. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the raspberry-white chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining cream carefully.
  8. Portion and chill: Spoon mousse into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
  9. Garnish and serve: Top with fresh raspberries and a white chocolate curl or mint leaf before serving.

Notes

If skipping gelatin, mousse will be softer and less firm. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight for best set. Use frozen raspberries thawed and drained if fresh are unavailable. Melt white chocolate slowly to avoid burning or seizing. Fold whipped cream gently to keep mousse airy.
