Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm (about 100°F) and the sugar has dissolved (3-4 minutes), then remove from heat. Let steep for 20 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently on the mint to extract all liquid. Discard the mint leaves.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 ounces chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Stir occasionally until smooth and melted (about 5 minutes), then remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the strained mint-infused cream until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Be careful not to overwhip.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold the cooled melted white chocolate into the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  5. Step 5: Divide the mousse into 4 serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
