Directions
-
In a microwavable bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave on High (100%), stirring every 30 seconds until smooth (about 2 minutes).
-
Add the marshmallow creme to the melted chocolate and stir with a wooden spoon until fully blended.
-
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth.
-
Add the white chocolate mixture to the cream cheese and beat until smooth and well combined.
-
Stir in the lemon juice.
-
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the nondairy whipped topping until no white streaks remain.
-
Combine frozen raspberries and sugar in a medium saucepan.
-
Bring the raspberry mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
-
Set aside about 1 tablespoon of the raspberry liquid before it reduces too much.
-
Continue boiling the raspberry mixture, stirring occasionally, until the volume is reduced by half, about 8 minutes.
-
Combine the reserved raspberry juice and cornstarch in a small cup and mix until smooth; stir this mixture into the boiling raspberries.
-
Cook and stir the compote until thickened, about 1 minute.
-
Remove the compote from heat and let it cool completely.
-
Spoon half of the mousse into eight wine glasses or dessert dishes.
-
Layer half of the cooled raspberry compote over the mousse layer.
-
Repeat the layering with the remaining mousse and compote.

Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Note
For best flavor and texture, allow the mousse to chill overnight in the refrigerator.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beating to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency.
You can use fresh raspberries instead of frozen; you may need to adjust cooking time slightly as fresh berries release less liquid initially.
