Raspberry White Chocolate Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Raspberry Mixture

01 - 9 oz (2 cups) raspberries, fresh or thawed from frozen
02 - 1/3 cup sugar (adjust if you'd like it sweeter)
03 - 1/3 cup water
04 - A squeeze of lemon juice (1/2 tsp)
05 - 1 tbsp cornstarch
06 - 3 tbsp cool water

→ Creamy White Chocolate Mousse

07 - 6 oz white chocolate, chopped into small pieces
08 - 1 and a half cups whipping cream, split
09 - 1/3 cup powdered sugar
10 - 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
11 - 1 cup fresh raspberries (optional)

→ Decorations

12 - Raspberries (fresh)
13 - Small mint leaves

# Instructions:

01 - Put raspberries, sugar, water, and the lemon juice in a pot over high heat until it begins boiling.
02 - Turn heat to low and let raspberries break down for 8–10 minutes, stirring here and there. Take it off the stove, press through a strainer, and toss out the seeds.
03 - Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water (3 tablespoons). Stir it into your raspberry liquid on high heat, whisk quickly, and cook till it thickens—about a minute. Let cool and chill in the fridge.
04 - In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the chopped chocolate and 1/4 cup cream. Heat in short 30-second bursts, stirring every time, until velvety smooth. Allow it to cool completely.
05 - Using a cold mixing bowl, whip the rest of the 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until peaks hold their shape.
06 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in portions until combined. Let it chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
07 - Layer mousse, raspberry mixture, and fresh berries in serving dishes. Repeat in layers. Add more raspberries and a few mint leaves on top for decoration.

# Notes:

01 - Store raspberry sauce in the fridge; it keeps for several days.
02 - Prepare the mousse 1–2 days before you're ready to serve.
03 - Choose high-quality white chocolate—it's worth it!
04 - Try using glass cups or a big trifle bowl to serve.
