Step 4: Chill and Set
Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to achieve its perfect, set texture.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Just before serving, add your garnishes. A few fresh berries and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings transform it into a restaurant-quality dessert.
Pro-Tips for a Flawless Mousse
Quality Chocolate is Key: The flavor of your mousse depends entirely on the white chocolate. Use a bar you love to eat on its own, not chocolate chips (which contain stabilizers that can hinder melting).
Keep Everything Cool: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping the cream. This helps it whip up faster and higher.
Don’t Rush the Cooling: Adding warm chocolate to whipped cream is the most common mistake. If the chocolate is even slightly warm, it will melt the cream and result in a runny mousse.
Troubleshooting: If your mousse seems a bit soft after folding, it likely just needs more chilling time. The fridge works wonders!
Serving & Presentation Ideas
Elegant Glasses: Serve in clear martini or parfait glasses to show off the beautiful layers if you add fruit.
Chocolate Cups: For a truly stunning presentation, serve the mousse in edible dark or white chocolate cups.
Coffee Pairing: A shot of espresso or a cup of dark coffee provides a wonderful bitter contrast to the sweet, creamy mousse.
