A delightful dessert layering smooth white chocolate mousse with tangy raspberry sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- 6 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
- Chocolate shavings or curls for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Raspberry Sauce: Combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down (about 5 minutes). Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for 2 more minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Prepare the White Chocolate Mousse: Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler until smooth, then cool to room temperature. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold the cooled white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the whipped cream until light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Parfaits: In serving glasses, layer the white chocolate mousse, raspberry sauce, and fresh raspberries. Repeat the layers, finishing with mousse on top.
- Garnish: Top the parfaits with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings or curls.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 120 minutes to meld the flavors together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
