Ingredients
White chocolate mascarpone cream
-
200
g
white chocolate
(About two bars.)
-
250
g
mascarpone cheese
(You can use a little less if your store-bought container is slightly smaller.)
-
250
ml
heavy cream
Raspberry mousse
-
2
pt
fresh raspberries (6oz/170g each)
(Use 1½ containers for the mousse and reserve the rest for decoration. Frozen raspberries can be used instead.)
-
2
tbsp
sugar
-
1
tsp
fresh lemon juice
-
1-2
tsp
corn starch
(Diluted in 1-2 tsp of cold water.)
Instructions
-
Heat the heavy cream until warm (do not boil). Pour it over the chopped white chocolate and stir until smooth and fully melted. Set aside and let it cool completely. Once the mixture has cooled, add the mascarpone and briefly mix until you get a thick, smooth, and creamy consistency. Do not overmix.
-
Heat the raspberries with sugar and lemon juice for a few minutes until they break down and become soft. Blend until smooth. For a seedless texture, strain the mixture through a fine sieve (optional).Mix 1–2 teaspoons of cornstarch with a little cold water until smooth, then stir it into the mousse. This will help it set slightly and give it a more stable structure. Let it cool completely.
-
Spoon the white chocolate mascarpone cream into dessert cups first, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly. Next, add a layer of raspberry mousse on top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set and chilled. Before serving, decorate with fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired.
