Ingredients

  • 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Melt the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over low heat.
  2. Whisk the fresh lemon juice into the melted white chocolate until fully combined. The mixture may thicken slightly.
  3. Refrigerate the lemon and chocolate mixture for 20 minutes to cool.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled lemon-white chocolate mixture until smooth and airy.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Spoon the mousse into 8 small glasses or bowls and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest citrus flavor.
  • Do not overmix when folding the whipped cream to keep the mousse light and fluffy.
  • Add lemon zest for a stronger lemon flavor.
  • Top with berries, whipped cream, or mint before serving for extra presentation.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze in a sealed container for up to 6 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
