Ingredients You’ll Need

1/4 cup (60 ml) whipping cream or heavy cream: This adds the rich, creamy texture to your mousse; heavy cream will yield a richer flavor.
4 ounces (112 grams) full-fat cream cheese: Provides a creamy, velvety base; make sure it’s softened for easy mixing.
1/3 cup (56 grams) white chocolate, chopped and melted: Adds sweetness and a smooth texture; be sure to use quality chocolate for the best flavor.
1/2 cup (120 grams) plain Greek yogurt: Adds tanginess and lightness; you could substitute regular yogurt if needed.
1/2 cup (60 grams) fresh or frozen raspberries (mashed): Offers a burst of flavor; feel free to use frozen raspberries to simplify preparation.
Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional): They not only enhance presentation but also provide a lovely fresh flavor on top.

How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse

Beat the Cream: In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the 1/4 cup of whipping cream or heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be attentive here—mix until just right, or you may end up with butter instead of cream!

Combine Cream Cheese and Chocolate: In a separate medium bowl, take the softened 4 ounces of full-fat cream cheese and mix it with the melted 1/3 cup of white chocolate, using the same beaters for easy cleanup. Blend until smooth and creamy, making sure no lumps remain.

Incorporate Greek Yogurt and Raspberries: Now add 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt to the mixture and stir until fully combined. Next, fold in the 1/2 cup of mashed raspberries gently, preserving some of the airiness you created in the cream.

Fold in the Whipped Cream: Take all but a tablespoon of the whipped cream you prepared earlier and carefully fold it into the mixture. This step is crucial for maintaining the mousse’s light and airy texture, so be gentle here!

Spoon into Glasses and Chill: Divide the mousse into two serving glasses, which makes for a charming presentation. You can serve it right away, but I recommend chilling it for up to eight hours. The texture will transform into a delightful mousse after chilling.

Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top your mousse with the reserved tablespoon of whipped cream and some fresh raspberries for a lovely finishing touch. Enjoy the beautiful creation you’ve made!

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover mousse in the refrigerator in an airtight container, where it will stay fresh for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the mousse in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, but keep in mind that the texture may soften slightly. If needed, re-whip a bit of cream to refresh its lightness.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid over-beating your cream when making the whipped topping; it should be firm but not grainy to maintain the mousse’s consistent texture.
Allow your cream cheese to come to room temperature before mixing—it smooths out much better this way.
If you want to control the sweetness, taste the mixture before adding all the raspberries or the remaining whipped cream.
Use a rubber spatula for folding in ingredients; it helps gently incorporate without deflating the mousse.
You can prepare this dessert in advance, making it a fantastic choice for dinner parties. Just remember to garnish right before serving for the best presentation.

This White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse is a sweet escape that brings a touch of elegance to any occasion. With its creamy texture and tangy raspberry flavor, it’s bound to win hearts all around. Whether you’re sharing it with loved ones or savoring some solo, this dessert invites you to enjoy each luscious bite. Don’t hesitate to experiment with the ingredients, perhaps swapping in different berries or flavored yogurts. I hope you find joy in crafting this mousse, and may it bring a smile to your day!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?

Absolutely! Frozen raspberries work wonderfully in this recipe. Just be sure to thaw and mash them before adding to the mousse. The flavor will still be fresh and delicious, so you won’t miss a beat.

How long will the mousse last in the fridge?

The mousse will last for about 3 days in the refrigerator if stored in an airtight container. Just remember, it may soften a bit after the first day, so enjoy it fresh!

Can I make this mousse ahead of time?

Yes, this dessert is perfect for make-ahead recipes! You can prepare it a day in advance and let it chill in the refrigerator. Just save the garnishing for serving time to keep the berries fresh.

What if I want to make a larger batch?

No problem! This recipe is easily scalable. Simply multiply the ingredient quantities by the number of servings you want, keeping the same ratios for the best results. Just be sure to mix in a larger bowl to accommodate all those tasty ingredients!
