White Chocolate Mousse

White Chocolate Mousse is an easy, dessert that can be made in advance. Topped with a dot of raspberry sauce and a single berry it's a perfect party dessert. Gluten free cooks love taking individually portioned desserts to minimize the risk of cross contact and show people that gluten free doesn't need to be that hard.

Chocolate mousse is what I decided on and I created a festive and fun presentation. I served three variations in a variety of liqueur glasses displayed on pedestal trays with little signs.

I found those tiny disposable spoons at the Dollar Store and I recommend you buy them when you see them. They're perfect to serve with mousse shots.

Ingredients

Although mousse and pudding are similar in texture, mousse is light and fluffy. The lightness comes from whipping air into the mixture and is achieved by folding whipped egg whites or whipped cream into the base mixture.

• white chocolate
• egg yolks
• sugar
• whipping cream 
• Optional: raspberry syrup and raspberries

See recipe card for exact amounts.

Shot Glasses, Liqueur Glasses and More

I have a dozen liqueur glasses and borrowed another dozen from a friend. Over time 'shots' have became trendy with many uses so there are no rules and plenty of options. Here are some of them.

• 2.5 oz clear liqueur shot glasses
• 2 oz shot glasses with coloured base (these are the ones I have and I used in this photo)
• Smaller 1.2 oz clear, shot glasses
• The cutest ever 2 oz Mason jars with lids
• A vial shaped 2 oz Mason jar with lids
• Unique square-shaped 1.8 oz shot glasses
• Square Mini Cube 2oz

White Chocolate Mousse

Serving dessert in individual liqueur glasses decreases the risk of cross contact and makes a pretty presentation on any buffet. Perfect for gluten free eaters.

Instructions

• Chop chocolate and put into large glass bowl. Place a strainer over top of the bowl and set aside.
• In a small bowl of a stand mixer whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Pour first amount of cream into a small saucepan, place over low heat and bring to a simmer.
• Slowly pour hot cream into egg yolk on low speed to avoid cooking the eggs.
• Pour mixture back into the saucepan on low heat and stir with until it thickens slightly.
• Pour hot egg mixture into the strainer over the chocolate. Using a spatula press on the solids in the strainer then scrap the mixture from the bottom of the strainer into the bowl. Remove the strainer and stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and all chocolate is melted. Set aside.
• In the small bowl of a stand mixer whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold half the whipping cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten. Then fold in remaining whipping cream until smooth.
• Divide white chocolate mousse into shot glasses, liqueur glasses, sherry glasses or martini classes. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Top with a tiny amount of raspberry syrup and a single raspberry and serve.
