White Chocolate Mousse is one of those must make dessert recipes for the holidays like Easy Angel Food Cake, Red Velvet Cupcakes, and French Silk Pie. I’ve done my best to work on those classic recipes to bring you the simplest versions possible.

Some holiday recipes are really high maintenance and difficult…and that’s just not me and not this site. I’m all about the easy recipes. Gimme all the 2 ingredient recipes, please!

Instructions 

  • In a small saucepan, heat ¾ cup of the cream on medium heat. The cream should get hot and slightly bubbly on the edges, but do not bring it to a boil.

    melted white chocolate and cream added to whipped cream in a white bowl.
  • Serve cold topped with mini chocolate chips if desired (its yummy that way!).

I can’t locate the Fannie May white chocolate squares what can I use in their place. The website says they aren’t available.

Will it taste too much like white chocolate or whipped cream? I’m a bit picky,and I like balanced flavours.

Hi, This looks very easy!
Would this mousse hold in a shot glass, and refrigerated for 2 days?
Thank you.

Hi is this recipe stiff enough to pass for a white chocolate mousse cake?

I think it’s probably not stiff enough. You could possibly make it as a frozen mousse cake. I haven’t tried it that way but it might just be delicious!

guess i should have read through first and i’d have realized that you had it incorrect… the first step is NOT heat 3/4 of the cream; it’s heat 3/4 CUP of cream.

Yea, usually a good rule of thumb. Read the recipe, gather ingredients, read again then execute. How are you still alive charisse?
