Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1 tablespoon of cold water. Let it sit and bloom for about 5 minutes.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
- Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a medium bowl and the whites in a large, clean mixing bowl.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until pale and thick.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk until it just begins to steam. Remove from heat and gradually whisk into the egg yolk mixture.
- Slowly whisk the egg yolk mixture into the melted white chocolate until well combined.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the white chocolate mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- With clean beaters, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the white chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- If desired, you can make a blackberry layer by blending fresh blackberries until smooth.
- Strain the blackberry puree to remove seeds, then gently fold in a spoonful of whipped cream to lighten the texture.
- Spoon or pipe a layer of the white chocolate mousse into serving glasses.
- If using, add a layer of blackberry puree or whole blackberries.
- Add another layer of white chocolate mousse on top.
- Refrigerate the assembled mousse for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh blackberries, white chocolate shavings, or a mint sprig if desired. Enjoy your Two-Tone White Chocolate and Blackberry Mousse!
