Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, divided 1 cup for whipping, 0.5 cup to fold into chocolate
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
For the Raspberry Layer
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream to achieve a marbled effect while retaining volume.
  4. In another bowl, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice, mashing lightly to release juices but keeping some chunks for texture.
Assembly
  1. In serving glasses or bowls, alternate layers of raspberry mixture and white chocolate mousse. Use a piping bag for the mousse for a decorative look.
  2. Chill parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint before serving.

Notes

If the cream doesn’t whip quickly, be patient. You can substitute dark chocolate for a different flavor profile, and leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to two days.
