Description
A delightful dessert that layers creamy white chocolate mousse with fresh raspberries, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional)
- Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by melting the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until completely melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the melted white chocolate with the mascarpone mixture. Gently stir to incorporate. Then, carefully fold in the whipped cream to maintain the mousse’s lightness.
- For added texture, you might choose to add a layer of graham cracker crumbs at the bottom of each glass.
- Spoon the mousse into each glass, layering it with fresh raspberries as you go.
- Continue creating layers until the glass is filled, finishing the topmost layer with more mousse.
- Garnish your parfait with a few fresh raspberries and a mint leaf for an elegant touch.
- For the best texture and flavor, refrigerate for at least 120 minutes before serving.
Notes
Consider using frozen raspberries if fresh ones are out of season. Experiment with flavors by adding almond extract or lemon juice.
