This Passionfruit & White Chocolate Mousse is paired beautifully with buttery shortbread hearts, making it a perfect treat for any special occasion or simply to satisfy your sweet cravings.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, cream together the room-temperature butter and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually, add the all-purpose white wheat flour and white rice flour to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Add a small pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shortbread hearts. Combine the dough scraps, reroll, and cut additional hearts until all dough is used.
- Place the hearts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
- Beat the egg yolks until they are light and creamy.
- In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the melted white chocolate into the egg yolks until smooth.
- Gradually fold in the egg whites until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and a dash of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or ramekins.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy, luxurious mousse with the crisp, buttery shortbread hearts.
Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother and richer mousse.
- Ensure that the eggs are at room temperature before mixing, as this will help achieve a more stable mousse consistency.
- Chill the heavy whipping cream in the refrigerator before whipping to ensure it achieves the right consistency when beaten.
- Be precise when measuring the butter and flour for the shortbread to ensure a tender and crumbly texture.
- Add the vanilla extract to both the mousse and the shortbread to enhance the overall flavor and aroma.
With its harmonious blend of flavors and textures, this Passionfruit & White Chocolate Mousse with Shortbread Hearts will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. Whether you're serving it at a dinner party or enjoying it on a quiet evening, this dessert is sure to bring joy to every bite.
