Ingredients

  • 7 oz. white chocolate, chopped (any variety, I just love the vanilla bean kind!)
  • 1 vanilla bean, split
  • 2 3/4 c. heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 1/2 c. strawberries, diced
  • 3/4 c. raspberries
  • 3/4 c. blueberries
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 T. granulated sugar
  • 1 T. honey

Instructions

  1. Put chopped chocolate into a heat proof medium bowl. Set aside. Heat 3/4 c. cream over medium high heat and add the whole vanilla bean. Once it simmers (watch carefully), remove from heat and pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute. After minute has passed, stir quickly with a rubber spatula until smooth. Set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat remaining 2 cups cream until still peaks form. While whipping, add the 1/2 tsp. vanilla. This doesn't take long at all. Watch carefully or else you'll whip it into butter!
  3. Once you have whipped cream, gently fold in the cooled chocolate mixture in 3 additions. Don't over mix. Once incorporated, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, over night is preferred.
  4. To make the berries, add berries, lemon juice and zest, sugar, and honey to a bowl and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use. The berries will release all their juices and get saucy and delicious!
  5. When ready to serve, remove from fridge for a half hour or so and scoop or pipe the mousse into cups. Layer or top with honey lemon berries. Enjoy!
