Ingredients

200g (7 oz) white chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream (divided: 3/4 cup for whipping, 1/4 cup for melting the chocolate)
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Melt the White Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool to room temperature.

Whip the Cream
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 3/4 cup of heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Beat the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. This will give the mousse its airy texture.

Combine Ingredients
Gently fold the cooled white chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Next, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites in two additions, using a spatula to avoid deflating the mixture.

Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Serve
Serve the white chocolate mousse chilled. You can garnish with shaved white chocolate, fresh berries, or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.

This creamy white chocolate mousse is a perfect dessert for any occasion, combining the richness of white chocolate with a light, airy texture. Enjoy!
