Directions
-
Finely crush the Shortbread, Praline Royale, and Caramel DeLites cookies separately into crumbs.

Dice the sun-dried cherries into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.

Sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1 ounce of cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Heat the bloomed gelatin gently until dissolved, then set aside.

Whip the soft whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream and diced sun-dried cherries into the chocolate-cheese mixture until just combined.

Note
Ensure the white chocolate is cooled slightly before adding it to the cream cheese to prevent the mixture from becoming too thin.
For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the mousse.
If sun-dried cherries are unavailable, you can substitute with dried cranberries or chopped strawberries.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The texture may become denser as it sits.
To unmold, run a warm knife around the edges of the mold and invert onto a serving plate.
