Description
A delicious and indulgent White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake that combines creamy white chocolate mousse with fresh raspberries, all on a graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups fresh raspberries, divided
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add the melted white chocolate and mix until well combined.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Then, heat it gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds until dissolved. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese mixture.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Reserve a few raspberries for garnish, and fold the remaining raspberries and lemon juice into the mousse mixture.
- Pour the mousse over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with reserved raspberries before serving.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute half of the white chocolate with dark chocolate.
- Add a layer of raspberry puree on top of the mousse before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
