Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Simple & Quick: You can whip this up in just about 10 minutes!
Irresistible Flavor: The creamy white chocolate pairs beautifully with the bright tanginess of fresh raspberries.
Eye-Catching Appeal: This dessert looks as gorgeous as it tastes, perfect for any occasion.
Flexible Serving: Ideal for date nights, parties, or a special weekday treat.
Diet-Friendly Options: Easily adapted for different dietary needs by swapping in specific alternatives.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1/4 cup (60 ml) whipping cream or heavy cream: A must for that signature light and fluffy texture. Heavy cream will lend a richer taste.
4 ounces (112 grams) full-fat cream cheese: Cream cheese adds creaminess and a slight tang. For a lighter version, try Neufchâtel cheese instead.
1/3 cup (56 grams) white chocolate, chopped and melted: Choose high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor. You can substitute with a dairy-free chocolate if needed.
1/2 cup (120 grams) plain Greek yogurt: This gives a nice creaminess while keeping things light. You can use regular yogurt for a milder taste.
1/2 cup (60 grams) fresh or frozen raspberries, mashed: Fresh raspberries bring vibrant flavor, but frozen ones can be used in a pinch—just thaw and mash them.
Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional): For that final touch of beauty and flavor!

How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse

Beat the Cream: In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 1/4 cup (60 ml) of whipping cream or heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix; otherwise, you might end up with butter instead of whipped cream!

Mix Cream Cheese and Chocolate: In a separate medium bowl, combine 4 ounces (112 grams) of full-fat cream cheese and 1/3 cup (56 grams) of melted white chocolate. Use the same beaters to mix until everything is well combined and creamy.

Incorporate Yogurt and Raspberries: Add in 1/2 cup (120 grams) of plain Greek yogurt and mix until smooth. Then gently fold in 1/2 cup (60 grams) of mashed fresh or frozen raspberries. The raspberries add not only flavor but also a lovely pink hue.

Fold in Whipped Cream: Carefully fold in all but a tablespoon of the whipped cream into the mixture. This technique keeps the mousse light and airy—important for that fluffy texture. Pour the mixture into two serving glasses.

Chill or Serve Immediately: You can enjoy the mousse right away or chill for up to eight hours. When freshly made, it resembles a rich no-bake cheesecake filling, but after some time in the fridge, it transforms into a delightful, soft mousse.

Finish with Garnish: Top each glass with the reserved tablespoon of whipped cream and additional fresh raspberries if desired. This step adds a touch of elegance, making your dessert even more inviting!

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftovers at room temperature for up to an hour; after that, it’s best to refrigerate. When stored in an airtight container, this dessert can stay fresh for about two to three days in the fridge. You can also freeze the mousse for up to three months, though the texture may become a bit grainy upon thawing. To refresh, allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight and stir gently before serving.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Always make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
Whip your cream just until stiff peaks form—overwhipping can lead to a grainy texture.
If you’re using frozen raspberries, make sure to drain any excess liquid before mashing for the best consistency.
Consider experimenting with flavored Greek yogurt for an extra twist!
Prepare this mousse ahead of time for gatherings, allowing flavors to meld perfectly.

The beauty of this White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse lies in its simplicity and the way it brings joy to any table. Each spoonful offers a delightful balance of happiness and indulgence, making it perfect for any occasion—romantic dinners, family gatherings, or simply a rewarding treat after a long day.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use another type of fruit?

Absolutely! This mousse works beautifully with strawberries, blueberries, or even tropical fruits like mango. Just remember to adjust the sweetness according to the fruit you use.

How do I make it ahead of time?

You can prepare the mousse up to eight hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld, making it even more delicious.

Can I make this mousse dairy-free?

Yes, substitute full-fat cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative, and use non-dairy whipping cream. Make sure to choose dairy-free white chocolate for the best flavor.

What can I serve with the mousse?

This dessert pairs wonderfully with a simple cookie on the side, or you can serve it alongside fresh fruit for a light, complementary touch.
