Ingredients

8 ounces white chocolate chopped
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup heavy whipping cream cold

Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, melt your white chocolate.
Add the lemon juice and whisk vigorously until combined. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
In the bowl of an electric mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate and lemon mix. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours.
Once set, distribute the mixture amongst eight serving glasses or bowls.

Notes

TO STORE: Cover the mousse in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

TO FREEZE: Transfer the mousse to a shallow container and freeze for up to 6 months. Let it thaw overnight before serving.

Variations

Make it sugar-free. Use sugar-free white chocolate.

Swap the citrus. I haven’t tried this personally, but I imagine using limes, oranges, or grapefruits would yield equally delicious results.

Garnish. Top the mousse with white chocolate shavings, blueberries, or raspberries.

Layer it. For a dessert parfait, I like to layer the mousse with whipped cream, fresh berries, and cookie crumbs.
