You're Only 2 Ingredients Away From A Rich White Chocolate Mousse

There's almost nothing that brings more comfort and joy than chocolate mousse. It's a perfectly airy treat that won't leave you feeling like you should have skipped dessert. There are many ways to elevate a traditional chocolate mousse, but if you're looking for an even sweeter flavor, try making a white chocolate version of this dessert instead. Whipping up this treat at home requires little effort and only two ingredients. Plus, it's absolutely delicious. 

A typical chocolate mousse recipe contains ingredients like heavy cream, egg yolks, butter, and powdered sugar, but for this one, all you'll need is a few white chocolate morsels and some heavy whipping cream. The fat content of the heavy cream is what gives this treat its thick, mousse-like texture. White chocolate also contains more cocoa butter than dark or milk chocolate, reinforcing the treat's luxurious mouthfeel. Combining these ingredients results in the easiest mousse ever that's perfectly smooth, creamy, and sweet. 

To make this white chocolate mousse, heat and whip the ingredients together until smooth. You can add an extra ingredient like whipped cream to help fluff up the texture and cut out some of the whipping time as well. All in all, it should only take about five minutes to put together. Then, make sure to let the mixture set in the fridge for at least two hours to help it set. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can refrigerate it for less time.

Serve your mousse with toppings such as whipped cream or white chocolate curls. White chocolate is different from dark chocolate in terms of sweetness, so adding toppings like a chocolate ganache or fresh berries can help to balance out the flavor. You can even spice up the recipe by adding liqueur for a burst of boozy flavor. Leftovers are unlikely, but if you end up with some, you can store this mousse in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container. With a dessert this easy and tasty, you'll want to make it for every occasion.
