Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) white chocolate, chopped into small pieces

2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, divided

3 large egg whites, at room temperature

1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of fine salt

Optional: Fresh berries (such as raspberries or blueberries) or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Melt the White Chocolate: Begin by placing the chopped white chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Set this bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water (double boiler method). Stir continuously with a spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Once melted, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

    Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour in 1 1/2 cups (360ml) of the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks start to form. Once soft peaks are achieved, gently fold the slightly cooled melted white chocolate into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful to mix slowly to maintain the light and airy texture of the cream.

      Whisk the Egg Whites: In a separate, clean mixing bowl, add the room temperature egg whites along with a pinch of salt. Beat the egg whites using a mixer on medium speed until they start to form soft peaks. Gradually sprinkle in the granulated sugar while continuing to beat. Keep whisking until stiff peaks form; this will ensure your mousse is fluffy and light.

        Combine Everything: Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the white chocolate mixture in three additions. Use a gentle hand to incorporate the whites without deflating them, ensuring the mousse retains its volume.

          Chill the Mousse: Once well combined, spoon the mousse mixture into individual serving dishes or elegant glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse is set and firm.

            Prepare to Serve: Just before serving, whip the remaining 1/2 cup (120ml) of heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Spoon this whipped cream generously over each mousse serving. For an added touch of elegance, garnish with fresh berries or a sprig of mint.

              Enjoy: Serve chilled and savor the luxurious, creamy delight of your dreamy white chocolate mousse!
