White Chocolate Mousse with Raspberry Compote
So easy, So Delicious and So elegant. It is the perfect Valentine’s dessert for a party or just for two.
Equipment
- saucepan
- small microwaveable bowl
- small mesh strainer
- small bowl
- large mixing bowl
- hand mixer or standing mixer
- pastry piping bag and tip
- a tall cup or mason jar (to stand your pastry piping bag up)
- a twisty tie (or rubber band)
Ingredients
Raspberry-Rosemary Compote
- 2 cups raspberries – fresh or frozen
- 3 Tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. rosemary – leaves from about 4 to 5 sprigs
- 1-1/2 tsp corn starch
- White Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse
Whipped cream cheese
- 1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp. Real vanilla extract or 1-1/2 tbsp vanilla bean paste
- 1-1/4 cup white chocolate callets (I use Callebaut Callets)
- 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp white granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a sauce pan, pour raspberries, fresh rosemary (leaves of 4 or 5 sprigs) and sugar. Turn on a medium flame. Break the raspberries apart with a spoon while they simmer with the sugar. After about 3 minutes, lower the heat and allow the berries to simmer, bubble and reduce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spoon raspberry mixture into a small mesh strainer over a bowl and press the compote through the strainer to separate it from the seeds and rosemary. Your compote should be semi-gel-like. If it’s runny like juice, give it 5 more minutes to reduce in your sauce pan. If it’s still not quite a gel-like texture, add 1-2 tsp. of corn starch to thicken it up a bit. Cover with cellophane and place in the fridge.
- Add 1-1/4 cup of white chocolate to a microwaveable small bowl. Melt on high for 25 second bursts. Mix well between each interval. Should not take more than 2 to 3 25 second bursts. Use a high quality white chocolate.( I use Callebaut Callets.)Set aside to cool.
- Add heavy whipping cream to a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer (or add to a standing mixer) on a high setting to whip the cream until thick. You’ll know it’s ready when small peaks form when you lift the beaters. Once cream is whipped, add 16 oz whipped cream cheese, vanilla and sugar. Mix ingredients thoroughly.
- Add the cooled, melted chocolate to your mixing bowl and mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Once mixed, place in a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. I did it overnight
- Once your mousse is set, place your pastry tip in the pastry piping bag and seal it shut with a twisty tie just above the tip. You’re going to be pressing the white chocolate mousse into the bag, and you don’t want it to come out just yet.
- Fold the top of the bag over a little (this makes things less messy when you’re ready to squeeze the bag), and place in a large cup or mason jar to keep it standing up. Add a heaping tablespoon of mousse to the bag and push it all the way down to the bottom with a spoon. Place the bag back in your jar and spoon in a teaspoon of raspberry-rosemary compote, making sure it’s spread over the mousse. You can be a little sloppy here. It makes for a nicer marbling.
- Repeat the process by adding another heaping tablespoon of mousse, then a teaspoon of compote in layers until you fill your bag. You can either seal the top with a twisty tie and place your bag back in the fridge for when you’re ready to serve, or remove the bottom twisty tie and fill your glasses.
- Notes
Notes
Do not heat white chocolate too much the consistency can quickly turn to a gritty, inedible texture.
The sweetness of your raspberries actually determines how well the compote gels while simmering with sugar. The sweeter (riper) the berries, the less easily they’ll gel… that’s why it’s not an exact process.
Once you’ve filled your glasses, you’ll either want to serve them right away or put them back in the fridge because they’ll melt down a bit and won’t stay as firm after about 15 minutes.
