Ingredients
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, at least 30% cocoa butter
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • ΒΌ cup granulated sugar
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 250 F.
  2. Lay out the white chocolate on a baking tray covered in a sheet of parchment paper and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from the oven and scrape the chocolate around the pan; it will have become quite grainy at this point. Repeat this every 10 minutes for 40 to 50 minutes until the white chocolate is smooth and a lovely golden color.
  4. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and place the egg whites to one side.
  5. Cool the toasted white chocolate for 5 minutes, and whisk in the egg yolks and the butter to form a smooth shiny mixture.
  6. Whip the cream until soft peaks form.
  7. In a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until they are foamy, and slowly incorporate the sugar into the mixture one teaspoon at a time, until the egg whites form peaks.
  8. Using a spatula, gently incorporate the whipped cream into the cooled toasted white chocolate mixture.
  9. Using a balloon whisk, gently incorporate the egg whites into the white chocolate mixture to create the mousse.
  10. Spoon the mousse into individual glasses and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  11. Serve topped with a little extra whipped cream and some grated white chocolate if desired.
