Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
- Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
- Measure out the heavy whipping cream and sugar.
- If using passionfruit for garnish, halve the passionfruit and scoop out the pulp into a bowl.
- Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
- Stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Be careful not to over-whip; the cream should be smooth and fluffy.
- Set the whipped cream aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons (25g) of the sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.
- Slowly add the melted white chocolate to the egg yolk mixture and stir until well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg yolk mixture until fully incorporated.
- Be careful to fold rather than stir to maintain the airy texture of the mousse.
- Using a clean mixing bowl and beaters, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons (25g) of sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture a little at a time.
- Fold until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the mousse is set.
- If desired, top each serving with a spoonful of passionfruit pulp for a fresh and tangy contrast.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious passionfruit and white chocolate mousse!
Tips:
- Ensure the white chocolate is melted smoothly to avoid any lumps in your mousse.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for best results.
- Separate the eggs carefully to ensure no yolk contaminates the whites, which will be crucial for achieving the right meringue consistency.
- When folding the whipped cream and meringue into the chocolate mixture, do so gently to retain the air and achieve a light and airy mousse.
- Allow the mousse to chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving to let the flavors meld and the texture set.
With just a few ingredients and a little time, you can create this luxurious Passionfruit and White Chocolate Mousse that will impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth. Remember to serve it chilled to enjoy the best of its flavor and texture. Happy cooking!
