Note
Ensure the white chocolate is completely cooled before folding into the cream; if it's too warm, it will melt the cream and ruin the texture.
For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream to achieve stiff peaks faster.
The mousse can be made up to 2 days in advance. Keep covered in the refrigerator.
If the white chocolate seizes while melting, add a teaspoon of warm cream or butter and stir vigorously to smooth it out.
You can substitute the dark chocolate garnish with crushed nuts, edible flowers, or fresh berries for a different flavor profile.
