Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 6 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups, divided heavy cream
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 6 oz white chocolate chips with 1/2 cup heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth; remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Step 2: In a blender, puree 1 cup fresh blueberries until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove skins; set aside 2 tbsp of the puree for garnish.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Step 4: Gently fold the cooled white chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until combined, then fold in the blueberry puree until swirled but still marbled.
- Step 5: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.
- Step 6: Before serving, whip the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp powdered sugar until soft peaks form and pipe or dollop on top of each mousse glass; drizzle reserved blueberry puree over the whipped cream for a frosted effect.
