Directions
-
Heat 1 inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over low heat.
-
When the water is hot but not simmering, place the white chocolate and 4 tablespoons of water in the top half of the double boiler.
-
Using a rubber spatula, constantly stir the white chocolate and water until melted and smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Place the heavy cream in a well-chilled bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a well-chilled balloon whisk.
-
Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute.
-
Remove the bowl from the mixer. Using a hand-held whisk, vigorously whisk 1/3 of the whipped cream into the melted white chocolate to lighten it.
-
Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula, and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
-
Add the combined white chocolate mixture to the remaining whipped cream. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold together until smooth and no white streaks remain.
-
Transfer the mousse to a serving container or individual glasses.
-
Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
