How to Make White Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
2 cups heavy cream
3 large egg whites
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then add sugar gradually, beating until stiff peaks form.
Fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream gently.
Next, fold in the beaten egg whites until fully incorporated.
Use the mousse as a filling or frosting for your cake. Chill until set, then serve.

How to Serve White Chocolate Mousse

How to Store White Chocolate Mousse

Tips to Make White Chocolate Mousse

Make sure the white chocolate has cooled slightly before folding it into the whipped cream. This prevents the cream from melting.
Use an electric mixer for beating the egg whites for the best results.
Gently fold the ingredients to keep the mousse light and airy.
