Tips
To achieve a smooth dessert with a light and creamy texture, there are a few things to keep in mind. When melting the white chocolate, it is crucial to use a gentle heat source such as a water bath or microwave at low power. Stir the chocolate frequently during the melting process to prevent overheating, which can cause it to seize or become grainy.
Tips
Fold gently when combining the whipped cream with the melted white chocolate. Add the whipped cream in small batches and fold it in carefully until fully incorporated. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can compromise the light and airy texture.
Tips
Serving the white chocolate mousse at the right temperature is essential. It is best enjoyed chilled, so keep it in the refrigerator until shortly before serving. This allows the mousse to slightly soften and reach the ideal serving temperature, which will enhance its taste and texture.

Add your own touch
It is easy to mix things up and add your own touch to this dessert. Consider infusing additional flavours into the mousse by incorporating extracts, spices, or liqueurs.

For a visually captivating treat, create swirls or layers of contrasting flavours in the mousse. Spoon in some fruity coulis like raspberry or passion fruit between layers of mousse and gently swirl it around for a gorgeous, marbled effect.
Add a touch of summer to your dessert by playing with temperature contrasts. Serve the white chocolate mousse alongside a chilled sorbet, ice cream, or fruit granita for a refreshing twist. The coolness of the frozen component creates an exciting contrast to the smooth and creamy mousse, making each bite a delightful and refreshing experience.
